Yes and "Big Power" equals built motor. If we are talking stock bottom end right down to the rod bolts then H/C all the way spinning in the range of 6500-6700. There is not an H/C package out there that can touch a built car with say an F1 blower, but the stock bottom end H/C cars are right there with the stock bottom end blower cars with the right package. The plus on the blower side would be drivablity though I did not consider that previously.

You could always do heads and cam first with larger combustion chambers then add the blower. Blower first is nice, but when you want to do the heads you will have to take it all apart again. Like some have said, the blower will make more power initially than a h/c car, especially dropping your compression on the heads, but in the long run if a blower is going to be added anyway you would be better off.

This is exactly true except for the fact that the compression would be slightly less initially if you run a blower, alternatively just a h/c car wouldn't need much of a difference in compression.
