cheapest HP gains for the least $$ invested = turbo.

supercharger = well suited for higher displacement engines.

more time + more money = swap

well if you got the money i would go h2b for about 5 grand or if your a tight budget and want to be fast buy a d16y8/z6 and boost the son of a bitch for under 2 grand.

you can boost it but then again there a lot of money u need to make it run properly. along wit turbo u need fuel pump, injectors, and most definetly u need to tune it unless u wanna hear a "pop" and blow ur motor

Like previously stated. Boost a d series. I dont think you want to spend 5,000 or more on a boosted b series,where as you could set up a d for much cheaper and be just as happy.
