Turbo is going to be faster than N/A. you can still pull good power out of a N/A as long as you port the motor :bigthumg:

almost always, yes, rotories are just not that fast when they are N/A, now, if you have some Uber Bridgeported, fully tuned Haltech using ported intake, open exhuast having super N/A, yes, it will be faster than a stock turbo, but, at that point you will have something like $10K invested in the N/A, and have it maxed out performance wise, and $0 in the turbo, and not even begun.

Most of the ones I have seen yes. I realy dont know if any one has fully built a N/A. Turbo cars have more things to change. ie Turbo, boost pressure, intercooler. turbo cars wont last as long but, its the choice people make

you dont want to do that, it would be wayyy to much work when you could go ahead and buy a turbo with half the upgrades you would have to do standard on it.
