Stay NA or go to the Dark Side?

It really depends on what you want this car to be OP. Your most demanding setting is being able to get this on the track without problems. If that's the case, keep it NA and focus on making it reliable and adjustable all around. Wheels, tires, suspension, fuel system, weight reduction, brakes etc etc. Massive power is a lot of fun, but its kind of limited to where you can use it. Pushing the stock engine internals on a track with any type of forced induction is a bit risky, so you should pretty much account for double your budget should the unforeseen happen. You hear a lot about cars on the forum going twin turbo's, but rarely hear about those that trashed thier engines... which have been known to happen. I know it's tempting to want to be the guy with the most HP, but there's always going to be another guy with more. You just really need enough for what you use the car for.
