If I dropped 96sleeper's motorwork into my supercharged 3.0, he will be faster without the boost? This is the point you seem to be defending. Because somewhere down the line you lost sight of what I was getting at. Might have been my fault for incorrectly phrasing things. It's like 1 car is 300hp, another is 260hp, if you gave them both 100 shot of nitrous, the 260 hp car will end up being the faster car?
The initial "debate" was 3.5L motor swap vs bolt on SC. No motor work involved at all. I bought my kit with a 10psi pulley. That's what I started out with. So you all are saying out of the shop, the 3.5L swapped 4th gen is going to beat an SCed 4th gen. If this is the case, then lord I have TONS more reading to do I guess. And i'll just admit to being a super noob.

And let's keep this in the other thread I made.

And yeah, money doesn't grow on trees, I agreed with you on that. And I did lay off. Check after I "layed off" how many responses I got. I came off as "3.5L is a waste of money compared to SC, prove me wrong". And Blu, in a way did just that. Please grow up man, the ownage and douche comments were just unnecessary. You learn something new every day. I sure did and even retracted my statements. Once again, YOU lay of or just don't read my posts. I'd def like more insight on this 3.5L vs SC though. I know i've seen older discussions on this topic.

Not at all, it did look like that though

i'm building the cheapest N/A 3.5 setup on the .org. everything >$1500 without tuning, >2000 with tuning, and when I tune, I'll be going for low 13's.
I just think it's more cost effective, more reliable, and more reliable to get a 3.5L. i already have the power of a S/C (even more if you do it right), and I have the option to put an S/C ON TOP OF IT, for even more power. In that case, the S/C is a bit limited in upgradeability.

That's kind of cheating to say that though. It's walking out of the NA realm that way. But I can put a 15psi pulley on the SC within 2 hrs for free, lol. I guess it's just easier as far as upgradeability. And that would be like me saying I have the SC I can always just buy the 3.5 with 1500, no problem.
Cheater.

Cheater.i'm not going to boost this car, i'd rather boost something rwd or awd. Who knows, I might find something for cheap like I always do and end up with a totally different setup than I think i'll have.
