Looking to get blower first then build up motor. Also on the turbo idea. I have owned turbo cars and the high entrance cost and my already purchased mods wont work. More interested in supercharged applications. Car is a 2018 SS 1LE so also a manual...
I "THINK" you need to look at what you are really asking vs reality. Building a drag car is easy it has one job, so it can be great at that job. Building a 1/2+ mile car is easy it has one job. Building a street car that can do many things WELL is easy. How often will the car spend doing "highway pull"? Look at the positives and negative of both systems. I think IATs are the usual issue when doing long pulls with any setup. Going forged bottom end? Really you are going to get peoples personal opinions but in all reality you have to look at the power created in the range you will be racing. F1A or vs TVS 2600 vs 2.9 Whipple really at the same power level the race will be close. Probably come down to transmission type, and vehicle weight.
