N/A vs. F/I
I'm still new to the forums and need some help with this topic. I'm confused about why some people stay N/A. Is there any advantages that N/A has over F/I? I don't see how there could be but like I said I'm still new. Also how much horsepower can you get from the 4.6 when staying N/A?

some people would rather spend 100-400 dollar bursts on bolt ons. Rather than 2 grand at once on a supercharger. Then you have to worry about getting it on, and getting tuned, plus in some cases your risking reliability.
But i think money is the big issue for some people, tbh im in college as a full time student, i worked full time all summer last year and was able to buy my supercharger, all the supporting mods, and pay a shop to install it and tune it. So it can be done, in another thread i mentioned i bought all the parts i needed in a 3-4 month span.

an arm and a leg trying to go na and get close to the numbers and possible numbers going fi with a 2v. Some ppl seem to like th "cool factor" i guess on trying th na route on th 2v. IMO the cost just takes all of that cool factor away knowing you could have gotten higher numbers and more room to grow with a blower.

Are you saying for example that a blower setup like a v1 s trim will cost quite a bit more than trick flow heads with decent cams,intake, and exhaust? I may be wrong but trying to go na on a 2v and get close to blower numbers na will cost quite a bit more
