My motor fried up over half a year ago and I completely built it from the ground up, nothing was spared. Pretty much everything was replaced with brand new parts. I have some cash left over and need some advice whether or not to go blown or stay N/A. This is a daily driver and needs to stay on pump 93 gas. If I decide to go with a supercharger it will either be a procharger d1sc that is for sale on the boards or an eaton swap. The question that comes to my mind is... if I decide to go the eaton route...will my expenses have gone down the drain that I spent on rebuilding the motor? I would also like to hear what NazMan provides for us N/A guys looking to get me into the 450rwhp range.

Naz knows his stuff and he's damn good... but you'll spend twice (if not more) the money trying to reach your goal in NA form. What compression ratio did you build your engine at?

With A Eaton, T45 & 4:30's ? I would think something would have to give. A set of 3:73's likely would be a better choice.

Definitly boost it. It's a little more of a headache at times, but it's so worth it when you stomp on the pedal and feel the boost build.
