    What should I expect from this brake setup

    I also see in the FFRP catalog were they sell 99-04 rotors as an upgrade to 98 and earlier. any idea how the 99 and ups are better? and are the slotted/drilled FRPP rotors worth even getting?

    Big Bore Dyno Results inside

    I dont disagree that a properly tuned s/c application will last, but my consern is with problems that happen. a little trbl with a fuel system, or timing,cooling,rev limiting..etc in a s/c application usually causes more damage than a N/A application...N/A is a bit more forgiving when things go...

    Big Bore Dyno Results inside

    I'm interested in total cost also. as to how comparable it is to a s/c, definately safer than a s/c application(pre 03)..so i'm guessing i'm looking for the cost of the big bore kit,forged interals,head work,valve train kit,and machine work and labor. thanks
