OK, how much did he spend to run those kind of times? Probably 3 to 4 times more than I did. I run high 13's daily driven and I didn't even touch any internals. The only way to get a good amount of power cheaply out of a 4 cylinder car is forced induction, period. You can spend 10 grand and still be pushing less than 250 whp running mid-low 13's, more power to you. I will stick with my cheap power, while you practically rebuild your whole motor. I prefer doing things the easy way and N/A would be the worst choice for that.
And N/A on an LS is just plain retarded. The low compression is perfect for boost. If you were going N/A on a B18C motor, it would be a different story but an LS all motor is about as retarded as an all motor D-series.
