bill, no problem.. i give up just my lack of willingness to type.. and besides.. if actually had a technical conversation it would be useless to the forum members.. FMEP, PMEP, BSFC, BMEP, Flame propigation, etc.. you need to think in BMEP rather than torque and horsepower, then we'll 'start' to have a good conversation..lol

I'll save it for a time i feel like typing, i'll let you know and we'll talk

and PS.. the Saab comparison also has some holes for argument 3.55 final drive vs 4.05.. (which goes along with what i've said all along) and the 'real world' fuel economy results are based on 4 people.. hardly a figure to go by.. i can go increase either one right now if i like.. and someone put down 37mpg for one of their entries on the saab..

Anyhow, its been fun, and enjoy your ride on the short bus..

Im not sure about the rst of the members of the site, but I am in no way interested in mpg when looking for more power. The only concern I have is how do I want to use this power and where do I intend to make it. Then from there I will choose what fits my plan and driving style best. mpg is just an extra "perk" that I may or may not recieve from my choice.

Nah, no need to declare a winner, although I appreciate the gesture. I felt it was all thought-provoking stuff on both sides, so everybody wins!

All in good fun! You know what they say, 'It's not the kill, but the thrill of the chase.' Thanks for the sparring session!
You are killing me in this thread

damn, i really want to do this set up. but im just not sure if the power im expecting will be there. i will be revving my engine out with my built head so im not worried about not revving high enough to make enough power. what size head unit do you have?

The turbo will make the most power .The procharger would be second,the twin,or roots would make a lot less.Between the roots,twinscrew,and procharger,the procharger would make less heat.So for all round facts they would fall in this orber.#1 turbo,#2 procharger ,#3 roots,twinscrew.
