we brought more cars because so many of the FI boys had to pull out due to mechanical or tuning issues

plus btw they are gayers

I had few issues! (Apart from a shredded propshaft doughnut, now replaced).
I think the "average power per car in class" shows that FI is the way forward. Even the larger engine builds with cams can gain even more with FI. Anyone who ignores THAT fact is the gay
IMHO FI provides the simplest way of gaining large amounts of power with minimum fuss. (not budget necessarily, just easier).

even though i went the NA route, FI is easier and quicker to get to a certian amount of power,you can fit a super charger in a afternoon you cant rebuild a motor that quick, it all depends on what you want from the car and what you use it for.in a car like mine i prefer the throttle responce only NA give you but in a bigger car the FI give strong power,you could always build a proper motor them force it , but then thats costs more again so its back to bhp per ££ and what sort of power you want and how fast you can afford,

And how much is the noise from the supercharger worth? I would gladly pay extra for that alone, even if I didn't have any more power it sounds like I do.

You have plenty of power Charlie.

( Not to mention an ubercool reggy)

Yeah but because of that bloody number I feel I have to live up to it. I need to find 69BHP (magic number). So cold air intake, headers, 9 psi. What do you think?

[crisisjez]

You non intercooled? if so 9psi is gunna hurt, speak to Roger about a cam and keep those charge temps down
Headers will just steepen the torque curve but not up the HP (Have the dyno runs to back that up too)

Ah a cam, yes that is a good idea

Cam's always a good idea when you have it with the supporting mods like a charger
