Equal small cubes (347) with matching peak power, I'd give the slight edge to the juice if you hit it off the line. I don't start making big power till high rpms and never really make big tq (495). Same goes for big cubed NA vs small cubes and blower.

I ain't scared though. Bring it.

I'd love to but I'll be sitting at work from 6pm - 6am. I'm also taking the vette on a road trip to Miami in a month and don't want to chance breaking the car before the trip. I won't make any passes until July at the earliest probably. Good luck though!
