What I dont understand is one thing....if we can make 6-8psi EASILY on a supercharger and that is the limit of the stock block, what the hell is the point of getting a turbo charger at this point. Unless you build the block, then you aren't going to make any more power than any supercharger will.

To be honest with you guys, I think a TT setup is pointless unless you're going for 700whp+ and for that you will definitely need a built motor.

Also find it really funny that everyone who is technically inclined and have lots of driving experience aren't considering a TT and are aiming for 450-500whp, while the folks who are more into aesthetics need 600whp+ TT kits for some reason. I'm not sure they know how unusable that amount of power is... I mean not that I dont think " I spin tires in 4th" isnt cool.
For me personally, I'm not really concerned with peak HP that much. I'm more interested in a solid increase in usable low-end and mid-range torque and HP that I'll see all the time as opposed to peak numbers high in the RPM range that I'll rarely get to in a daily driven street car.
