[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 16648, member: 2"] If I had my way, I think I would add turbos. But, Manny would be the front line of the build. Honestly, I wish people would not get insulted on here. Each person has their opinion of what they like and if two people are arguing which is best, they may be actually arguing about two different things even if the subject or goal is the same. For example, if arguing about the best way to build hp for the money. If I were to build a car for the quarter mile, I would go with a supercharger. Like Vettefan said, they are great power for the money. However, if I was planning on going to go on road courses, I would build an NA car as superchargers add weight to the front of the car and can suffer from building too much heat over time. Both build power but with different purposes and power curves/characteristics. Also, just as there are differences with cams, there are differences with superchargers as Manny said, Roots build power lower in the power band and centrifugal build power higher. Also, think about the time frame of when you did your build if you have experience with these cars. Costs change and what someone can build a car for now does not compare to what was built years ago. Prices can go up, or they can go down depending on new technologies, the exchange rate, availability, demand, etc. As HLN A55 said, building HP should be viewed with the entire car in mind. You can only push as much horsepower as the weakest link will take. If we are to argue points, we need to define what we are talking about, were you got your information from, if it's first hand or a buddy said so. What the end goal of the project is, blah, blah, blah, and keep it civil. [/QUOTE]
