What do folks think of a non intercooled low boost s/c? What type would you go with?
Yea this is what I think is the best thing for this car, although I think you still might want some intercooling (alcohol injection?). The SCed Lotus engines for example give 15% boost but still have intercoolers even though the temperature increase is modest.
