Turbo does not require high rpm to make high HP.
S/C can make good HP below 7k but the cost outlay is tremendous. (right Rick )
Mod for mod a turbo is actually cheaper. This considering a S/C (3700) NEEDs the shaft bearing & intercooler (nearly 2k) to be remotely reliable. Then tuning and fuel upgrades (600ish)
Add in headers and that's $7000 and still no where near the power curve of the turbo kit.
Just wanted to point out, all bench racing/numbers aside ANY FI set-up is a lot of fun. Until you feel over 300hp in these cars its hard to say anything is inferior no matter how its generated.
I offer PnP Heads for all durtec's details at PnPheads.com or jesse@pnpheads.com for details.
