Alright guys, I am getting ready to drop a new engine in to my REPU I have been going back and forth for a while as to weather i will go with a turbo engine or just get another N/A bridgeported engine (either engine would come from Atkins Rotary as a full rebuild) I am personally leaning towards the N/A (for the moment) because i prefer the sound and the longer engine life, so if you guys have some input and dyno sheets that any one would be willing to share from both turbo and N/A engines (preferably bridgeported) that would be great.

re japi

That is a dilemma :)

Well, I would choose N/A bridge but it depends on car. If thats stock in good condition then N/A but if its beaten up or sleeper or so on, then maybe turbo.

I think that in these both cases, engine life isnt a problem, if you dont want massive horses. Dont have any dyno sheets to show but with N/A you will have around 230 safe horses and with turbo setup around 320. But most important questions is money, because with N/A you could run carb setup with basic dizzy and electrics but with turbo you need more electric crap like ecu...
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Thanks for the input I will take this in to consideration

re japi

No problem... :)

That really is difficult topic. Also it depends what kind of use you are planning for her...

High Performance Street /Road Course and maybe the occasional hill climb for fun
