Hey Randall-

I actually haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet. Talking to Marc at Turbowerx, though, he's talking about 50% power increase, give or take, at 4.5 lb of boost. With lower compression pistons and some other internals, he could do a 500 hp build but that actually scares me, since I got the back end to step out on wet roads on the Dragon...he also says max boost by 2500 rpm. I would need to see the dyno curves before choosing between the turbo and IA's s/c; the curves for the s/c show a big drop in torque below stock until about 2500 rpm, but JP in St Louis says he feels no drop in torque with his s/c.

But I've pretty much made up my mind that for 8 grand, give or take, either of those low boost forced induction systems would provide the best noticeable and relatively cost effective power increase.
