    Don't even consider staying supercharged if wanting to build something to race in. Skip the bull**** and go straight to turbo.

    Haters (turbo)... Lolz! I love my supercharger!


    Dont take the posts negatively... But before you really dive into modding the engine, you should read up on it and all that goes with it. Then when you think you're ready to dive in, read it all again to make sure. You wanna cam the engine...? What are your goals? Razekar can mean a lot of different things to different people. Lol

    Good Luck!
