one fails & the honeymoon is over, you are going to have to rebuild
anyway. the issue here really is the characteristics of the engine as a
system. There are a lot of issues to consider. Usage, HP goal,
application, stick or auto, top end or 1/8 mile, intercooler or not. single or
dual, fuel management, CR, head material, etc, etc, etc. To consider all
of these things, & then decide the best choice of application, then
execution is the key to getting the desired result. with a forced
induction car there are more issues than in a NA car, cause the stakes are
higher, but so is the potential. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
