Every motor is different and if it blows up on the dyno, I'll be upset, but not really surprised. My goal (hope) is to stay low boost daily driving for a year or two until I can get a built block that can handle near 400, if I even want the extra power later.

I do know some folks with the JRSC who absolutely love them. I didn't get one because I may want more power later and superchargers have more limitations than turbos.

6k-ish on the turbo. 257hp at 3k-something RPMs on 93. Seems to be going well, but I did find an uncomfortable amount of metal on my magnetic drain plug on the first oil change post-turbo. Blackstone said I'm probably good. :-) We'll see what the next oil change has to offer...
