Its really on you to decide what you want to get out of the car. Whether it be road racing, auto x,drag, daily driver, weekend cruiser, or a mix of all the above. Dollar per Hp there's no comparison obviously boost is going to get you the higher number and depending on who you talk to could be a cheaper route. Both have there pos and neg it really comes down to what you want to do with the car. Ive done both, started with boost for 5 years now I have a built NA engine.

if your only goal is to haul ass, then boost...but i would think really long and hard about what you want out of your car, because if thats all you want to do with it, youre missing out on a lot that the car is capable of...ive been bouncing back and forth between either doing a kraftwerks high boost supercharger or a mild NA build...theres something very sinister about how an all motor set-up sounds

Both of those roads can be expensive to go down....just depends if you want to be going fast at the end of the road, or still (relatively) slow.

<3 Boost

I want my s2 to push around 500-600 hp and is it possible to have it with that much power and have a nice setup with some rpf1's and a little offsit with no camber slammed?

I think you should read through this thread:
Boost isn't cheap

Your profile says you're 16 years old....do you really have $10k++ to throw at this car to boost it correctly? Do you have another car to drive when the S2K is down (and it will be down at times most likely)?

Like everyone else is saying I think you need to do some more research first. Its just not possible to get 500-600 hp with an all motor f20.
