Blower hardly seems worth it to me, you can get over 300rwkw on a cleveland N/A and still streetable easy enough.

Some people are just power freaks. The last (old) V12 Fuel Injected Jag I bought had twin blowers planned for it -to sit in the 'V'-.... not by me but by the previous owner.

My point was that a blower dosent seem worth it, unless it actually does make big power, a 190kw blown engine is hardly impressive IMO,when an older design aspirated engine can make way more.

It's not all about peak power mate, a 3oorwkw n/a 5.oL vs a 3oorwkw blown 5.oL will have 1 winner everytime although the power levels are the same.

No he said a blower wasn't worth it unless it was making big power, in a car as light as a EF xr8 you dont need big power to go fast.
