i think you can boost safely up to 9psi without having to worry anout your internals and honestly i would say supercharger&gt;Turbo for reliability and daily driving. and now a days i think you could pice together a nice turbo setup for the same price as a supercharger kit when its all said and done.
what you really gotta ask yourself is what do you really want out of the car?
do you mostly drag?
Auto X?
or do you just want a all around quick car.

 

You can easily hold 9 pounds. The thing about boost is you have to make sure that your a/f ratios are right and your timing adjust right for knock and etc. I've got a friend running on 10 pounds of boost (jrsc) for over a year or so now with no problems. He drives it daily, goes to the track, and has fun.

NOWAI

 

Booooooost it. A turbo is more fun, however many people are satisfied with an SC set up. (you will go through belts though)

 

how much boost your car can handle is all about the tune, get a thick head gasket also. There are A LOT of hidden costs while going to F/I.

 

turbo my friend

 

yeah..well I want an all around fast car..
something people can respect..
not just a straight line runner...u know..
but i thought sc would be the best way to go..

 

clubrsx.com has a thread on supercharger setups and power made.

some of the fastest street cars out there are NA. with that said, swap an LS1 in there and you're good to go.

just kidding

however you decide to go with FI will not change how your car handles in the sense that FI is made to only affect your how much more horsepower you make. Yes, I understand that having a faster car will put more pressure on the other aspects of your car such as tires and brakes when you're road racing.

so, with that said, do some reading on turbo setups vs SC setups and see which one works out the best for you.
