Default New SC

Going down to the speed shop today to order my SC. I'm told I'll start out w/430-450 rwhp on an 8 psi pulley. I'm also receiving a 10 psi pulley to change out if I want. I'll post when the installation is complete along w/the dyno results.

I am going KB all the way 2.6L. As far as turbos go I'll stick with the SC. You can get the same serious HP from a SC as a turbo, for less money and not as complicated to tune.

I think some would agree that running a turbo doesn't cost parasitic drag on the motor like a SC does. I'm going Vortech this Saturday but if I had the money and a place to go to get 'er done, I would have gone rear mountedturbo big time.

The difference in price between a KB and a turbo is not that much. A turbo will bring a greater grin on your face everytime you floor it, not to mention it is easier on the engine. Technically speaking 450rwhp on a s/c is around 500 or so on a turbo. Thus you should be able to squeeze a little bit of hp out of a turbo setup with the stock rods.
