I do not think I will ever do forced induction. To many can go wrong. I will cam and header mine in a couples of years and call it day.

I went the N/A path with my SS and if I had to do it all over again I would have simply bolted on a low boost supercharger. Cost wise you will be close to the SC price with a full N/A build. The reason is the SC will more than likely give you more hp/tq, it will be more streetable, and best of all should you decide to sell the car later you can unbolt it and sell it, when you build n/a you will loose every dollar you invested into the modifications as well as having a difficult time selling the car period. Nothing wrong with a N/A build but just know up front that you will not get the investment in mods back.

It isn't a matter of thinking; it's a matter of fact.

If your only criteria is big power the order goes turbo, s/c, then n/a.

Turbo's make the most power... they just do. How they deliver the power and is that to your liking is another matter.

Lol @ this

If you're just playing around and doing a little racing here and there I'd stay NA. You maintain the reliability nod you can make some serious power by upping the compression ad throwing a bigger cam at it. I'm sure you'll be plenty happy.

Go with a Procharger, Vortech, or Turbo for big power.
