well i sold my dirtbike and i have a little extra money and im gonna spend it on my car. im going to do one of two things with it.

-DIY master power t70 buildup, with 42# injectors, f-cam. running like 7 pounds of boost it should be around 400 whp.

-canfield 170cc alum heads, with a comp xe274hr-12 cam, or custom. with a tfs track heat intake. should make 300 whp.

im realy leaning toward the turbo just for the price. i could do it all said and done for about 1400 dollars. where as HCI would cost about 1800 or so, and it would have a lot less hp. and i could do a little fixing up with the extra.

I'd buy the HCI for now, then when you get more money a while down the road- you can turbo the car and make much more horsepower than you can with the stock heads

Just turbo it, and be different than all the rest of us, plus if you had a hci combo with a turbo you would be making over 600 hp with around 10psi, but that takes a while to tune and it wouldnt be very streetable, compared to a single turbo stock heads and all that. And it would be very expensive, cuz then youd have to get a dart block and all that good stuff.
