[QUOTE="-Wade-, post: 5973970, member: 47529"] Manny at HPP made over 1000 rwhp, close to 1100 uncorrected with the HPP Twin turbo setup on a stock motor. Stock heads, cams, block, internals, etc. The cam covers had never been off. The twin screw is fun, but like others have said, whats the point of doing something if you dont do it right the first time? There is nothing like the feeling of a turbo charged car. I'm sure your car is fun to drive now, and a few extra grand sounds like its ridiculous, but the fun you will have with the car after the turbo is priceless. Reliability is NOT a factor with a turbo car given the correct kit, setup and tuning. The only reason I can come up with is people have so many horror stories about turbo companies themselves, not the end product. There are plenty of companies that have been out there for years and years without problems. I have seen just as many if not more problems out of twinscrews. Ive never seen turbos break the snout of a crank due to stress. The bottom line is, it will always take power to make power with any belt driven device. The twin screws are less efficiant and will run out of steam way before the turbos. Not to mention putting less stress on your oh so important motor. Look at the fastest NHRA, Fun Ford, NOPI, etc cars - All running turbos. (Some classes have their winners w/o turbos but they are the TINY minority) A supercharger is a good route for some, just not me and/or most of the people that I know. -W [/QUOTE]
