[QUOTE="stangfreak, post: 14639558, member: 10655"] This is my take on it. I have owned a lot of twin screws. Buy the latest and greatest, sell, get the bigger one, sell, and get another bigger one. Its a viscous cycle. In the end, you put all that work, and how much hp are you really gaining from going one to the other. Especially if the motor is stock. see what I mean? You will always want more. Just like you stated, the 2.3 is not enough. Now you go to a 2.9, add another 60rwhp maybe? One week of driving it, you will get used to that. This is when, IMO, going turbo is ideal. You can go from 600rwhp to 1000 or more anytime you want. Of course, with the right turbo. It just makes sense. I have a 2.9 at 22lbs and I make 710 with vp100. 22lbs with good gas you will make 730rwhp. On e85 maybe a bit more. My car is just a bit soft and down 20 hp and 20 tq from the rest of the cobras. But I have to roll around with vp100 all the time. with a turbo, you can be fast on pump gas and be even faster on e85 or race gas. No need to swap pulleys and belts. Now if I would go turbo, I would also want an automatic. I have seen lots of people try with the 6 speed, only to switch over to an auto. Lots of money. If you dont want to drop a lot of money, and will be content with 7-800, stay with the blower. Get a 2.9 whipple. [/QUOTE]
