reasons for going forced induction are obvious, but a good point was made about goin N/A with a motor swap. A strocked motor, making that much HP is available in that price segment.
But in the quest for S/C's.....consider the following factors.
1. Cost
2. Performance/reliability. For performance, area under the curve (usable power) is more important than peak numbers. Any "real" tuner and race car builder will tell you that consistent power is more important than a peak number created during a power spike. Also, how reliable is the unit you're getting? Warranty/No Warranty.
3. Noise... I know it sounds foolish, but unless you're looking for that S/C whine and whistle at all times, it can get annoying. One of the reasons I love my GTO is because the interior is Nirvana compared to my Subie.
In the end, it's your decision. You make it based on input received, facts reviewed, etc.... and what it really all boils down to is that there isn't a bad choice out there (granted it's a reputable system). You're looking at different flavors of power delivery, each adding it's own "twist" (lol) to the driving experience. It's whatever you like. Period.
