well if you want your motor to live long and prosper with a supercharger or turbo, especially when you can tweak pressuress which im sure we all wouldnt leave our engine at like 4 or 6 psi..lol. if you want longevity its not gonna be a 4 grand swap its gonna be like 6-10k+ anyways to set up your motor for a fi setup right. look at some of the nice builds and guys that are having no problems with there high hp fi cars im sure non of them will be like "well i got the jegs magazene out and bought the F1 procharger and bam everthing works like a charm no other mods needed and i can beat the crap outta it with out blinking a eye" lol isnt gonna happen.
you have to think of the whole car as one unit when your putting down that power your gonna have 6-9 hundred plus into a good clutch mabey think about beefing up the t56 internals while your at it, and then the 10 bolt yokes drive shaft ? and thats just on the drive train side of things, there is no cheaper way to get power na or fi its gonna cost money more than 4g's. for that power obviously the Fi potental is greater when the engine is built around it theres no denying that. but when your talking 630 650 crank hp na or fi that you can use reliably if you can do that for 4 grand and beat the crap outta it sign me up and help me build it. i hope im not being a *** joe lol i love all you guys in here.

A-men whip!! I wish I could just slap a 76mm turbo on my car and call it good. But i got past the point of " you just can't do that ".
If our cars could handle such a powerfull option then they probably would of put it on the car and sold them for more brand new.... Thank god they didn't do that..lol...
I was watching top gear and the ha a ford raptor truck on there. They sad it made 411hp at the motor, but for 7gs more you could have the exhaust done the computer tuned and a cold air intake to give you 475hp...lol what a joke... For 7GRAND.. Throw a sc on there and all the other stuff they did and that alone would be 7grand an make way more hp..!!

From everything ive seen around here procharged vehicles dont run that great for the amount of money you are spending, our local procharger guy has a LS1 Camaro and was only running 8.20's on slicks in the 1/8 mile, to me thats very disappointing, if i were going FI id go with a turbo setup.

Longjevity of the motor = dog ****. I've seen and heard multiple engines take a turn for the worse with prochargers. Let alone they are expensive to buy/run and install.
