I've seen/read JRSC setups put down about 210-220 with just a piggy back system for tuning. Like I said, my good friend is a great tuner, I believe I can do at least 250whp with one of his one-on-one street and dyno tunes. After all.. I have 170whp with just I/H/E.
I don't want a turbo because of the maintenance it involves. Even the GReddy kits.. and those are still pretty limiting. I don't want to have to worry about oil lines, vacuum lines scattered along, blowing the turbo, or any of that. The JRSC is the best option for me because, 1, I don't need a whole shit load of power, and 2, I'm lazy.. I don't want to have to worry about the constant little shit that always fails.
i see ur point of view, but little stuff will still fail with the SC in there. just like a turbo setup, an s/c will add a lot of head underhood. heat = aging rubber/vacuum lines/plastics/wiring. you're going to be running gauges and vacuum lines still, so thats not turbo dependent. if anything, the heat is worse from s/c setups since theres no intercooling without crazy custom work, and the heatsoak is terrible.
wait i forgot, will u be getting a vortech or jackson? if its the vortech i'm all for it. those kits are better in many ways than the roots type s/c.
