Default Forced Induction Options for C5r Block and AFR Heads

I am building a new C5r block with AFR heads. Does anyone know what my options are for Turbo/Supercharging? I plan to use the engine for Road Racing.

Thanks,

Sean

Road racing as in 20 min on a track or street racing, one short blast?

More details...how much power are you trying to make? Desired rpm? What are some more details on the motor build? Cubic inch, size of your afr heads? What type of transmission? Auto or manual? For road racing, i'm thinking guys will say twin turbo for instant spool and being able to carry the power up top also. A single turbo for a road racing project can also work but is not ideal for what you will be doing IMO. A supercharger can work. If it were me, a single turbo build would be the last out of the three that i would use...but i'm no expert on these things, just offering my opinion to try to help! I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will chime in but they'll need more details first.

And like 4drush said. What kind of road racing? I assumed road racing on a track. If it's on the street and doing "roll" racing, you can choose any of the three options and have success.
