PRO CHARGER ALL THE WAY... BUILD A FLAT TOP 350 WITH A BULLET PROOF BOTTOM END....AND THROW A PROCHARGER ON THE BIOTCH.....JUST HOLD ON TIGHT... :lol:
Turbo or Supercharger?

the procharger kit alone blows his budget. i know he likes small blocks..i did too..till i found the light and built a stock bottom end big oval stock headed 468 that will run quick for cheap. i know i know ...they're heavy. but cheap.
I sold my 406 which was about 500 hp last fall for $3400 carb to pan with a converter. So if you want turn key on a $4000 budget get on racing junk and weed through the junk and find a used 350-406.
Remember that you are going to have to upgrade the whole drivetrain when you throw 500 hp at it.
PS don't be afraid of spray. Its great for street strip deals. Mild on the street fun on the strip.
<------406 - small shot

this one takes forever to spool up huh http://horsepowerconnection.com/images/Multimedia/Brian_7.90.wmv
it does have a little over a second delay in it on the luanch control to not blow the drag radials off
You guys kill me, let me put it this way:
4 cars are sitting idling at a traffic light, all have the same power at WOT. One NA, one with NOS, one supercharged, one turbo. Now if we all hit the throttle at the same time the turbo will be last to the next traffic light. This is not an opinion its a fact. The turbo needs exhaust to spool so no exhaust no boost.
The original question was what was best for his application, slill set and wallet. No where does a DIY turbo fit in his equation.

I don't think the turbo is the problem here :lol: I take it you don't keep up with any kind of heads up racing. Rules have been written in every organization to keep the turbo's from dominating....that's the truth. Come to the races with us...A turbo car is in the finals about every race and win's most of the time. One turbo car alone has racked up over 20k in winnings this year alone...and the rules favor the blower cars. Guys have figured out how to make them run the 1/8...
If you own 3 FI turbo cars you should have no problem figuring out how to make these cars work. The stop light example is a good one.....now try it with someone who races turbo cars at the track and see what happens. He's got boost and leaves along with the other cars. If you don't know how he does it then that answers my questions about your knowledge.
Anyway, for 500 hp I'd go N/A with a small shot of n20. A mild blower/turbo combo would make way more than that on a mild motor.

So true...
I know of a lot of guys trying to have less boost leaving to control the car.
