I think this is where our opinions diverge, because I can confidently say without looking at the parts list that I would not be getting everything that "I" would want in a turbo kit at $4.5k. When I priced the turbo option with all the accessories I'd need, it came out to ~$7500. I agree the cost difference isn't necessarily big enough to be a deal breaker, but it is more expensive.

Agreed. It's great to have so many options. I prefer a lot of things about turbos, but the stock rod weakness, along with the Edelbrock and CS400 being able to get me near where I think the safe limit is, has me leaning away from turbos. It would be another story if I was looking forward to building the engine some day.
