Everybody has their preferences, any one of those CAN make enough power to split the block. I like blower cars but really like turbo setups more. They are more effecient, make more power per psi if you have the right size for your setup and man do they pull hard.

Its not a club, its a "Brotherhood", and its not as easy as owning a turbo mustang, the trick is.....now listen closely....to actually have it running. I can only hope and dream of that day....

Good block like a Dart is just under $2000 I belive. The Sportsman blocks are out there for less than half of that but people have split them too.
