Forced Induction or Car Upgrade?

Yeah, thats kind of my concern -- FI with a daily driver. I do have a 2nd car my girlfriend drives most of the time, its a 2006 Accord, so worst comes to worst, that can always be a backup car for me.

The answer really comes down to your response there. FI Z's are uniquely impressive, and probably a really awesome car to have. I think the majority of the guys running FI'd Z's have had really good luck with them as well--I trust the car is generally reliable under boost.

On the other hand, any car modified like that poses a unique set of risks...there is always the risk of a horror story, whether due to the car, the kit, the tune, or just bad luck.

Figure out your tolerance for risk, and you should have a pretty good idea of your answer.

Yeah, that was the decision I've made.... You can't get any speed up on your daily drive anyways. So, I'd keep the Z stock and by a Vette and SC that. I don't dare to do that to my 50th Aniversary Car though. But, I'd like to get a 2004 Le Mans Corvette Z06 and throw a SC on that. Can you see I'm into C5's? It would kill stock ZR1 and GTR for pennies on the dollar. Beyond that.... Lingenfelter TT for the Vette. Can you say 750RWHP? That would lay waste to anything shy of $500K
