H/C Nitrous or forged internals and big boost?? What would you do?
1. MTI Stage II Heads, X1 Cam, TNT 100 shot with around 11.1:1 CR
2. Forged blower pistons around 9:1 CR, forged rods, rings, and a 10-12lb. blower

If money wasnt an issue then 2 because it is nicer to have the power available the whole time and i guess u would make more power with 2 than one anyways.
Or u can do 2 plus a good set of 6.0 heads and good blower cam. I would call that choice 3 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> and the best thing u can do on a 346CID motor.

Re: H/C Nitrous or forged internals and big boost?? n20 is easy as you can just add it to any engine combo and it works damn good.. Going forced induction takes a lot more thought and a specialized engine combo.
Fact is both are pretty comparable powerwise.
Strip performance the major concern and on a budget, n20 all the way.
Want full time power and can afford all the extra's needed to make it work, then boost it.
This is a really tough argument for me as I have so much time invested in both poweradder methods.

Re: H/C Nitrous or forged internals and big boost?? If money isnt a problem then number is th way.I like the fact that I could have forged internals over stock and it will last longer.Your talking about putting a lot of power to those stock pistons.But that is just me though.Either way you will haul ***.Just to let you know I am going with #1 but with a solid roller. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
