do u want to be fast on the street or at the track?
do u want big dyno numbers or win street races?
do u want a sleeper or a cop magnet?
do u want to be quick or crush 99% of cars you come across?
do u want a supercharger that makes peek numbers @ redline only, or a turbo that starts @ 2500k and ends at 7500k+?

do u have a big wallet, or are u penny pinching?
do u want sumthing tried and tru, or sumthing different than the masses?
do u want to do the work urself or have it built?
do u want to be limited to 8psi or run 20psi?
do u want the car to be a daily driver or a garage queen?
do u want to use radials or slicks ?
do u want to make the most of a stock block, forge, or stroke?
do u care about fuel efficiency?
do u care about boost efficiency?
do u want to use meth?
do u have access to better than 91oct.?
do u plan to upgrade ur entire driveline?
do u want the ability to change boost levels on the fly w/o a retune or swapping pullies?
do u plan to roll race, 1/4mi., 1/8mi., circuit, etc?

based upon ur answers to these questions and many more will determine which way to go. You better get it right before u start spending money or you will be sorry, when your still loosing races.
