if youre talking about producing more with bolt on then yes most forced induction cars will be able to produce more for less money.
but **** buy a 2000 z28 mod it a little bit lets say on the high side you just spend 20K... or buy a 03 evo and mod that to make it as fast as the z28... you might have just spent wayyy more to make hte same power as the 2000 z28....
its hard to say it will always be cheaper.
did any one think about power to weight ratio or gearing... who know this thing might walk on a stock srt-6 pretty bad in 3rd gear... you never know. dyno pulls wont tell all.
i was referring to comparing NA to FI in general when its come to hp.
Not the individual cars and costs. Just like i can buy a $2k integra drop $10k into turboing it and have a 500whp for $12k but its not the same because its a different class of car compared to a srt6, so they dont really compare unless your comparing just cost per hp.
