Its not an opinion...its fact. Do the research and understand what I am referring to. Many good books out there. I read Corky Bell's books quite some time ago. Some of the A/R math is a bit deep and not necessarily what everyone needs but you get the idea. I have tuned several aftermarket cars using aftermarket computers, and the fundamentals are really the same: air, fuel, timing.

How the air is compressed is irrelevant. What is crucial is correct engine management when it comes to safety (i.e. making sure the engine does not grenade)

When you say something like 'it seems like the safer route', you are not giving me the impression you have an informed opinion here on the technology and issues at hand. Some of us try to offer some guidance to get a better understanding of the entire system and make a more informed choice for yourself.

Let me give you an example (real world). Assuming equal thermal efficiencies between 0 and 12 PSI, would you rather run a 8 PSI SC system that uses an AFPR, fuel pump and timing retard, or a 6 PSI Turbo system with larger injectors and a fully remapped or aftermarket ECU?

Now remove the words SC and Turbo from the above paragraph and re-read....that is really what is important.

In either case, my preference would be choice B.
