I'm saying skip the forced induction and build a high comp. N/A motor
But in all reality, it comes down to your budget, your skills and whatnot.

well i can build a high comp motor but y when you can put a s/c or turbo for a let less and make more power, my concern is with a turbo is that going to be to much heat for a driving it on the street on the weekends.

get a heat shield for the turbo and it will help keep the heat under hood undercontrol
