Peak HP numbers mean nothing.

A lot more comes into play, use-able power, use-able torque, torque curves, weight, etc.


A few local guys have bolt on turbo kits and such, I will have my motor done in the somewhat near future and we will get some videos.

The car will also be faster than my girlfriends 400whp Vortech 350Z.
But, he just showed you the curves you're talking about, and the boosted one made more torque at 3k, than the ITB one, ie usable torque.

ITBs will give you midrange and response, but they're not going to be the end-all solution alone.

Now an "F24c" with ITBs on the other hand...

Here is a pic of a greddy setup... look
What is up with that dyno plot. It is sooo jagged. My dyno plot looks pretty much like a 45 degree line from left to right drawn with a ruler.

Definitely go with the boost. You are going to get so much more power and it will really help your ego when you pull up next to much slower cars.
like N/A guys with ITB's?

well, since this is already a couple miles off topic anyways, what did you and didnt you like about your old ITB setup??
Im really and honestly curious. Aside from having less power then boosted s2ks with the same amount of $ invested in them, what did you not like?
