Just playing the "what if" game with myself wondering if I should have gone the N/A route or if that's what I would do if I had it to do over again. My numbers are in sig with stock motor (exc RR's) and low boost.

Also, please comment on how much bottom end your motor has (or feels like it has). Say at like 2K ~ 4K RPM is it really strong or do you have to rev to the stratosphere to make power? For comparison's sake my low boost stocker makes 350 RWTQ at 2,200 RPM.

If you want to comment on MPG and off idle response I would be interested in that too......along with how it does in heavy traffic. Whatever you want to comment on concerning power and driveability is of value here. (thinking of trading for an N/A heads/cam car)

 

keep ur blower

to get that much HP with an na setup u'll be giving up a lot of bottom end "part throttle torque". max torque and driveability .. i cant speak of mpg as im sure urs sucks too with thsoe 42#ers...

blowers are a lot more street friendly... i made 371 / 342 only revving to 6100 .. if the dyno dude would've revved higher i'd be making just as much hp as u if not more (thats thru a 12 bolt and a street twin)

but i'd keep the hair dryer if u were u

just get a cam and more booost

 

Actually, I get exceptional gas mileage......despite being tuned in open loop a little on the rich side. I managed 24 MPG from Midland, VA to Charleston, WV and some of that was city driving and a great deal of it was hilly highway driving though the Shenandoah Valley. From my understanding......as long as larger injectors are tuned in properly they do not compromise MPG. My idle is smoother than it ever was before since dyno tuning with the 42's and 1.6 RR's ....just the opposite of what you'd think.

Some people have been telling me an N/A car actually has more bottom end and midrange than mine and that's kind of what sparked this topic. I have doubts about that unless you're talking about a stroker motor ....whole other ball of wax.
