I suppose I should have mentioned this: I'm running the car as a daily at the moment, but by the time this engine work is done, the car's gonna be a dedicated race car. Traffic, most weather, comfort, all those issues won't matter, as the car will never run less than 100 octane, and the only time it'll spend in traffic is on a trailer.
So I don't need streetable. I'm talking a theoretical N/A race motor.
On the streetable side, however, I'm talking much more than bolt ons. I'd like to hear what the possibilities are for making the best street motor possible. Plenty of cars run ITBs on the street. It's not really an issue here in Socal anyway.
I guess I have a little bit of the old-school muscle bias, because to me, Turbo just feels like cheating, almost on the level of nitrous. It can give powerful gains, but it's essentially something that's tacked onto the engine. I just really like the idea of improving the engine itself to make the power.
If it's really not practical to go N/A, KA-T it'll be, but I just would much prefer to do something original, rather than just bandwagon jumping.
