NA is best for track, but we're kind of limited with that. Even if he did a full NA build with ported and polished heads, valve work, lightened and balanced crank, etc..., could he really approach the power levels of a supercharger? And if so, at what monetary cost? |
None knows as to what the NA limit will be. People are just starting to develop that. What we're seeing now is just the beginning.
The SC doesn't wear the down nearly as much. You just need to understand that belts are wear items and expect to replace them a season or two. A very minor thing when you consider the brake bleeds, tire changes, general maintenance with a track car.
Turbo isn't just heat in a confined space, it is the power output. More power means bigger radiator, oil cooler, venting etc...
