Ive always been a turbo guy but after watching my buddy's supra lose to an n/a vette with almost 200rwhp less, makes me second guess.

Do it, get an LFP or afco Heat Exchanger, that would look so good with your Terminator bumper, and when you got your built motor you could switch to a whipple.

No, ive riden with him before. He can drive man. The vette has minor bolt-ons and had some dr's on 15's. My buddy in the supra has built motor and tranny with a 74mm turbo and 18lbs of boost and made 647rwhp. The vette just got the jump on the supra and put a car length on him and took the supra til 140mph to catch him. Spool time is what killed the supra. The vette is pretty much stock as far as suspension goes and so is the supra. The supra also was not spinning at all. It would be the same result if the supra were wearing its CCW drag pack with M/T ET Streets...might be even worse cus they are 28" tall...it should be 26" or 27" IMHO.

And DAMNIT BODUKE!!! I was so stuck on probably going N/A til you come in here and say do the roots/twin screw. lol I think its definitely between the blower or n/a right now. That will probably change before I go to do it next year but oh well.

dude, the only way that eaton is gonna scream is if its pushing 15psi or more...and that is what is known as shortblock death theory. eatons scream, just not that loud when they are stock. porting helps, but they really scream with a 2.76 pulley, port, and a ported tb/plenum as well. But by the time i put that much time and effort into an eaton i could just buy a kenne bell or a whipple. nah mean?
