True statement. If your CR is that low, the car will really feel slow until the boost really gets up there.

I think most guys here given the budget to do either, would go with the Turbo.

It is the sheer expense that deters most of us, and makes us decided to go with a strong supercharged application instead.

it's not that big of a deal if you compare it to say...getting a crate ls7 or a really nice turn key bbc.it's about the same power rating.give or take a lil.

Did you ever drive a car set up that way, or is that just an e-opinion? I suspect the latter, since that's how mines set up and it feels far from slow even with the blower belt disconnected, let alone with the blower working.

I rode in a car with 8:5:1 and compared to 9:1 and another 9:5:1 it felt slow. Slightly different setups though.

But I have heard from others that too low of a CR will make the car feel sluggish as well down low, so I figured this supported the single experience I had.
