sorry... everyone has different range of experiences...

for instance since dylan is smart, I was surprised to find out he didn't run zone alarm on his comp

spending 5k on a stroker for a supercharger is pointless in my eyes...especially with a centrifugal supercharger that needs rpms to build boost....


never said anything about turbo...


it's also pointless if you're going to be your average driver with boost.... now if you're racing it at the track and you're lookign for max output from everything it's a different story....
So I couldnt spin a 2.5L to 9200 rpm?

I don't run any firewall, other than windows firewall on my comp. A NAT is all I need infront of it.
from what i've heard the windows one is insufficient - but yeah with the NAT in most cases you're good

what I like ZA for most is for things that go outbound without my knowledge, like stuff that phones home... then I can deny it anytime

Crappy software firewall that crashes PCs.

Norton (Symantec) bought out ATGuard about 5 years ago which was the best software firewall. If you have a router in front of your PC(s), you're using a NAT'd firewall and therefore no software firewall needed.

with all of that, but you were just making it sound like a stroker + SC will do nothing at all...

You have to keep in mind that with the added displacement, you'd make more HP and tq across the whole dyno graph...
