Anywho, I like it, it's beautiful, and again I just wanted to share. Wasn't trying to get into a pen&s measuring contest argument about who builds the baddest motor with their own published dyno results they made on their computer.
I disagree, I have both a normally aspirated car and a forced induction car and would always go for normally aspirated because as intake air temp rises performance drops dramatically with forced induction. If you are drag racing or even running 1 mile events forced is great, but drive it for awhile and performance falls off.
