looking to go f.i. sometime in the near future.. i have searched this topic many times but whats yalls own personal opinion on the safest.. tuned( yes i know to take it to the dyno ) forced induction? supercharger ( which one) or turbo ( which one). once again i plan to drive the car daily and i do plan to tune it. also i want 350- 450 rwhp range would be enough. i know this may be capable with a supercharger with boost pulley upgrade and turbo. let me know what yall guys think?

turboj if tuned properly

 

I just had to make that decision and I went with the Comptech Supercharger for a few reasons. Its carb legal and I live in CA and laws are very stricked including cops and emissions. Also, I like the fact that on a supercharger, the power hits later in the rpm's so it makes it much more of a everyday driver IMO. However, if laws, emissions, were not a factor, I would have gone turbo I'm having my S dynoed as soon as my aftercooler comes in next week. I will let you know the whp. Hope I'm around 330whp.

 

i hope you hit 330 as well. cant wait to see your dyno results! how does the car feel with the supercharger without the aftercooler?

NSXINSAC: did you do any internal work is your bottom end still stock?

 

No it is stock. Next month I'm going to have the head ported and polished and manifold. Also lower the compression just a little without having to take out the pistons and rods. Then I will go with the 11psi pulley.

 

thicker head gasket always works to lower the compression. port and polish you can never go wrong with. You might wanna opt for the 5 angle valve grind instead of the 3 angle.
