Forced induction opinions...
Okay my friend Spaz has an 86 GXL. He is planning some major upgrades. He want's forced induction in a bad way.
He has been planning on going with a built (low compression) engine from Atkins with a Camden super charger. But you can't rev past 6000 RPM with this set up and makes around 320 horse power.
I say go turbo. He is contemplating going with a TII swap. He works on cars alot and the engine swap will not be a major under taking for him. He is also thinking of getting the engine from Atkins and going with a turbo set up.
Or there is always the third form of forced induction, Nitrous Oxide. A good built engine with a hundred shot or so.
He really wants at bare minimum 350 to 400 horse power. So let's see what you guys think.

Best bet: Buy a turbo car and go from there.

I like nitrous, for example. Ported motor, stock ECU, TII drivetrain, and I go for 280 hp shots. Its a blast.

No seriously you seem to be the all knowing king of Nitrous systems for Rotary engines, You Must also be Master of tuning to pull off 280hp shots.

There are others running bigger shots than that, but I think I'm the only one running the stock engine fuel system at the same time.
Did you not see the write-up?

We appreciate the opinions. I think he is really wanting the supercharger. He wants the power but he also likes the idea that not alot of people are running them, and nobody around here.
Personally, I like turbo. Not my car, and I can't afford turbo anyway.
I will let you guys know which way he finally decides and what happens when he finally does it. (if he does it).
