I don't think either way is wrong if you are willing to do what it takes to make the setup work.

In 2021 it's pretty much all laid out. Shops errywhere posting on Social media and Youtubes exploiting what it takes for X setup to make Y power and run Z time. Some want to say they went 8's with stock Supercharger and are willing to invest the money to do it by running the added octane and supplemental cooling to get there. Others want simplicity and would rather make the power easier more efficiently with the larger supercharger.

Either way none of us are doing anything special here. It's not like the old days where you had to have some knowledge and mechanical inclination to make power and go fast. Now all you need is the Internet and Credit card. Most of us here are just a group of blow hards that have shop built cars... but we like to think we can compete with Austin Coil and John Force.

Great post King, absolutely spot on. The power these cars will make with nearly all possible combination of mods is well documented. Imho the tuner is far more important than the guy doing the wrenching. I would have to think that any competent shop, especially one of the many that specialize on this platform could bolt on a blower or install a cam as good as their competition.
I do all of the wrenching on my car, but am not nearly brave or skilled enough to attempt any tuning.
