Depends what your goals are. MOST people that I've seen on this forum get around 250whp with the kit on pump gas. For around 5k it matches in price with a lot of the base turbo kits and comes down to what the user wants.
Personally I think our FA20 engines have more potential with the turbo route, but if it's your daily driver and you cannot stand turbo lag, then the SC is a viable option. |

That's without a tune or MAP sensor. Full kit is $5600. It's also smart to buy a header if you want to see any decent gains which can range from 500-1500 USD.

It isn't my daily driver and I don't mind turbo lag. My goal is to get 300 whp which I heard is possible with a fuel pump, exhaust, e85 tune and injectors.

300whp with a turbo/SC on e85 with proper tuning is very easy to hit. Anything above 350-400whp+ the turbo starts to become the better FI route IMO

If you have easy acess to e85 the smaller pulley and a good header you could see 300whp+. At the phastek dyno meet a guy did 320ish on the stock pulley on e85. With the smaller pulley he would of gotten another 10-20.

Frsmod is a vendor on here or at least used to be, pretty sure they still are...(dynosty). Also, keep in mind everyone likes to make a better living quicker then the next person.
