But plainly you dont need to budget brakes etc in when doing engine work. You need to do brakes, when your pads and rotors are worn low, ok?

I am JRSC supercharged on stock clutch, 262wheel. Aim for this, its ~100 hp gain from stock and is perfectly reasonable, and leaves the car just under the 1:10 power:weight ratio. 260:2800. Thos power level is perfectly comfortable for the block+transmission, and you would not need to budge for another motor.

We need to get over this notion that forced enduction explodes engine blocks. It's how you drive it. Do you drive it like a car? Do you drift it?

My advice is buy a car w 75kmiles, turbo it, and enjoy your life. You dont have to build a endurance prepped racecar for the road.

I appreciate this answer a lot. I basically just wanted to hear it wasn't the stupidest thing in the world and that I wasn't some moron for wanting this. So honestly appreciate your honesty and giving me one vote of confidence lol.
