Default 408 w/TT or F1?

Well MTI is finishing up with the 408 tuning and nitrous install (TNT 200 shot)and I should have id back on Saturday.I know I will be looking for more HP in the next 3-6 months.

My delima is TT or F1 blower.I want decent drivabilty but not a daily driver by any means.I run the car at the track about once a month.Cost is really not a huge issue as I'm sure the F1 will be the cheaper route so lets not figure in budget.

I will post the dyno numbers when I get the car back on Saturday.I hope to have car to the track the following week.

Current setup in 99 FRC:
408 Iron Block w/Lunati Internals
LSX90mm Intake
LS2 90mm TB
Kooks 1 7/8 Headers
3.90 gears w/harden halfshafts
Spec III clutch

I would like to know who is running FI on a 408 and what kind of numbers they are getting.

Everybody is going to say Twin Turbo. It will be your choice, either way it will haul major azz.

Must be nice to have a lot of money I would probably go Twins if I were you and cost wasn't an issue. First you can adjust the boost, second you won't have the hp loss by spinning the blower. You won't have problems with belts. It's more effecient to run the turbo. The 408 would be enough ci's that you wouldn't really have to worry about lag. Good luck, sounds like it will be very interesting.
