Which type of forced induction?
Still have no idea what car you are talking about putting this in... but you are going to have a hell of a time sizing a turbo properly for that RPM range. Having a turbo come on strong at 2500 rpms means it's going to be too small and it's not going to hang on till 6500 rpms. For that rpm power band you are talking about I would be looking at a roots/positive displacement supercharger like a Magnuson TVS 2300 or 2.9L Whipple.

I have had them all and currently have two of them. Without a doubt Procharger for the set it and forget it. I run an A&A kit with the direct drive and have been on the same belt for 6-7 years now. Dead nuts reliable at over 700whp for years now. To me, that's hard to beat.
Is this on an F Body?
If so, using the A/A Vette bracket, have you been able to retain factory-like creature comforts?
Thanks,
Andy

It's just so hard to decide.
There are pros and cons for each system.

Slide on over to the transmission section, and you will soon have more insight into his brand of "logic", if that's what you want to call it.

But they are available here in Australia.
Harrop has their own version of one in their kit.
I hear the 2650 unit is slightly more efficient than the older 2300 unit and makes a lot more power too.
I think the 2650 is better suited to my 408 stroker engine compared to the 2300

Does it without nitrous as well. Kinda like the LSA bricks breaking everything has a weak spot. Personally just not a fan of blowers, with a 408 I'd go with a set of twins as its cheapest way to alleviate the backpressure issue on larger engines and less need to change his cam.
