After few days of driving with the supercharger, engine blew (before I got to tune for meth) so I found a great deal on the rebuild engine I have right now. Unfortunatly, car made less power 462whp but made 380 torque but still not tuned for meth. I will be running meth around March and see how it goes. If I am not happy with the setup at the end, I will be removing the supercharger, selling it and buy a TT as the built engine i have now is better for a turbo setup.

fair enough, thought you would have lost a lot of power going from 11:1 to 8.5:1, turbo setup sounds good, I'm still torn about doing all the changes to mine now, probably too much $$ compared to the gains. Still waiting on pricing back from vortech supplier here in Aus to do the upgrades
