[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15919209, member: 8854"] My experience was high compression motor (10.5), ported heads, cams etc. and a 2.9 whipple @ 30 PSI to make over 1000 whp. The problem was high CR motor and big blower means lower crank pulley dies. I mean like every 400 miles. It was worthless. I broke at least 6 setups including custom made setups before giving up. So my suggestion would be high CR and a 2.3 blower of your choice. The lower crank pulley lives and you'll make dangerously close to 1000 (depending on how all out you go) but not quite. The car will be crazy fast, have instant torque down low in such excess amounts that tires, suspension and traction are going to become a big deal. A lot more so than you've ever dealt with. If you really just chasing a number though like 1000 whp and want the car to be halfway reliable and not cost a fortune then go turbo. Becomes a personal choice. I've built/had both single and twin turbo cars, 4, 6, and 8 cylinders as well as blower cars. I just love the blower experience which is why I'd rather give up the top end and keep the blower.
