I prefer a short stroked, high compression motor. That way, it revs really fast, can rev really high and will always like the squeeze.

For me, it is a high compression motor with spray. IMHO, turbos are complicated and get really hot...melting and cracking shit under the hood. Superchargers are great but hard on the snout of the crankshaft. They have been known to shorten bearing life in high-po situations. All n/a reqires is a good combination of parts and a great tuner to bring it all together. Just kick back the timing a bit and spray away.
