this shit is always fun to read.yes for a stock block,crank and head casting that is a stout number.

as for a turbo vs nos
in the long run they cost about the same amount if u are building a race engine.
as for a street engine it is cheaper to go with nitrous unless u can get a deal on a blower or turbo.because soon as u start adding more and more stages of juice it puts u up there.
but then u can factor in the cost of just going n/a and it comes out close to the cost of doing a nitrous setup.
SO IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT EVER YOUR CUP OF TEA IS!

and yes turbos are nice but i like centrifecal superchargers better.alot of them can get down tracks that turbo cars cant.
and look at the ati procharged nova that runs low 8s on 28 pounds of boost using ported gmpp heads and stock crank and block.an does it on pump gas.now thats a statement.
