RE: h.c.i-vs-blower
Id say forced induction is definatly better for a daily driver...and still better for a race car. But remember that along with the supercharger u gonna need to upgrade the fuel system...and you should probably do some exaust work for it to run good.

RE: h.c.i-vs-blower
long tubes just give you more torque i think. and w/ those youll need 02 extensions. i say go w/ h/c/i. wont be as much hp, but, i think thats more driveable than fi. i love fi, but, for street use, all motor is probably all youll need. i vote h/c/i

RE: h.c.i-vs-blower
which blower are looking to get? like how many lbs of boost do you want to run? i did h/c/i on mine last year and i am very happy w/ i like having the choppy sound of the b cam w/ the 1.7 rockers, but if you can get a good blower for that price you should jump on it.
