i'd go highly tuned NA if i were you, but you aren't me so .. =P, but if I had to go FI , then i'd get the one with the horsepower/torque for the money.

At this point, this poll may be biased because Greddy and other Turbos listed have not been fully tested thus not released. I think most buyers would be hesitant to say they will buy something without knowing accurate specs or price. This may be the reason there is a high percentage of people that are voting for ATI SC althought I have to say, it does appear to be an attractive package if it proves to be reliable.

NA NA NA! I dont really trust turbos or FI in general...don't ask me why. Does anyone know the highest hp figures for a highly tuned NA 350? I know itll probably be 10x more expensive to tune an NA than sticking a turbo/supercharger in there but I think its worth it.

My guess is it could get up to 500RWHP with NA with EXTREME work.

With the money you would spend even getting close to what an FI setup will do you could build yourself a very reliable turbo system with great fuel management. The great thing about turbos is your not under any boost untill you hammer on the gas. This makes it very easy on a daily driver car. With properly tuned fuel management and boost levels within reason your engine should be very reliable. A high reving, high compression setup can be very hard on an engine. Tensil stress is very damaging if not properly tuned.

a NA setup with 500 whp might be possible, but you'll be running your engine on the ragged edge and it will cost several thousand dollars.

FI would be better if you want high HP numbers. A reliable setup, with some fortified internals, will be able to put mid 400's to the wheels without breaking a sweat.

Turbo charging is much more efficient and will yield much better gains. They also provide a lot more flexibility in power over super chargers. People have to remember, super chargers still need high rpm's to make full boost. Just because they make some boost down low doesn't mean they leave a properly setup turbo'd car Especially if you know how to power brake it...
