I'm assuming your about to build a z6? it depends on whether your doing a turbo or n/a set-up

There are a lot of variables...

You'll have to describe your setup (or intended setup)...

NA builds are fun but you get alot less power for alot more money than a turbo.

IMO, if you're going through the trouble to build it, then boost it.
