I would look at Bull's build and the issues he has mentioned in his last few posts though with his D series blower. I personally would go bigger than the D1SC, just in case you ever decide to crank it up, you're not having to buy parts again. I've replaced replacement parts already and it bites you in the ass even harder the second time. Figure out where you want to be, and buy at least 1 step bigger so you will still have room to grow.

I haven't seen anyone build a car to meet their goals of 600rwhp, that hasn't come back and bumped it to 650, then 700, etc... When I started my plans, I wanted 550rwhp and passed that by nearly 100 and I'm still looking at adding a little more. A 750hp car can be incredibly street friendly when its done right, and that will make you want more. I think it's sickness.
All good points. I suppose it just a matter of throttle control. As long as you dont mash the gas everywhere you go, it can be very manageable. Pretty much how you would drive an exotic/super car. Know a few guys with them and it took a lot of getting used too. One figured it out after a 26K reapair to the front end of his Mercialago.
