just remeber, if you only do lets say 6-5lbs boost on a blower you will have to rev it to high hell to see max boost. A nice stroker will have a ton of low end power, which a blower doesn't unless you go maggie.

I am just going with what you said.
Anyway, would you prefer FI over N/A if the prices are the same?

I would rather be blown than stroked any day....someone had to do it LOL!

Go with the blower you will not regret it, as stated above start out with the D1SC that way when you want more it will already be there. Swap to a good blower cam (brutespeed) and get a good tune you will for sure get your 75hp and more safely for the same or just a little more money the stoker.

I would have to say N/A because it seems like it is less stress on the motor and you get more torque.

I would have to say Procharger because everyone knows it will take about 3 weeks for you to get used to that extra 75 rwhp and then you will want more and if you go with a D1 you will have plenty of room to grow. jeff

Tom Billigen in GM High Performance has 700 HP on an ls1 block, 10.1:1 cr stock heads, 232/240 duration @ .050, .591/.609 lift 114 LSA cam, stock rods and rocker arms, forged pistons w/ speedpro rings, stock rods and crank, stock ported TB, 60# injectors, Dual Walbro GS340 fuel pump, and 15PSI from an intercooled PTE 76mm GTSH turbo kit.....nearly stock engine , i think this is the route im going to take but im going to be easier on the boost untill i get forged internals, and then later go with a full heads,cam, and intake setup for the 15-16 PSI.
