Re: Turbo or Super-charger

Your sig says you have over 106,000 miles. I would not go FI on a motor with that many miles unless a rebuild is included in the process. If you don't rebuild first, it won't live long and you will be rebuilding anyway. So, I would say continue to drive it like it is, do your homework, plan every detail of your build up (type of power adder, compression ratio, head, cams, exhaust, etc.), collect your go fast parts as you can, and when you have everything all together, do it all at once. Do it right the first time and you will be much more pleased with the results and your car will only be down as long as it takes to tear it apart, do the machine work, reassemble it, install all the additional goodies because everything will be on hand. If you go FI first, you will blow it up and it will be down until you can collect everything for the rebuild.
