Did you mean stock compression?? or low boost??

And yes, I agree that you will be able to prolly beat an Si, but you will be limited to that. If you do an engine swap, you aren't limited at all. A turbod B16A2/3 would give a Mustang GT a really good run.

uhh a single cam turbo would give a mustang GT a good run. Bret on this board rapes em like nothing else with a turboed HX.

Turbo kit! B16's suck ass. I also have a kit for sale for a few hundred less than that.

swap it! swap it good. because you'll proabably end up with a turbo sooner or later anyway, so I say swap, do internal work, then after a spell, turbo that thang

i drive A LOT. i dont want to worry bout leaky hoses, vaccum lines, turbo timers, inline fuel pumps, etc. im thinking of boosting eventually, but it takes a lot of time and $$ to do it right. you're adding a lot of equipment to your car which can lead to problems down the line, hence the reduced reliability.

i drive 30kmi anually, and until i dont have to drive as much, no boost for me.
