I still think I will go with a s/c vs. a turbo. It has many parts and to me that is more that can go wrong. JMO

completely false, more can go wrong with a s/c than with a turbo. a turbo is more reliable that is why more than 90% of the cars that are FI from the factory are turbo and not s/c. s/c tend to break belts often and are not even close to a turbo as in tuneable wise.

I would recommend talking to Jim Napier at turbohorsepower.com about the new single kit he just introduced. It’s not on the web site yet but it looks like a really good kit at a great price with many upgrade options. Jim does excellent work and I will be installing his twin kit at the end of the month.

I WANT ONE TWO!!! I have heard that you shouldn't exceed 550hp on a stock block, is this really true?
