Go radical on the build or just buy a SBC powered car.

SBC = Small Block Chevy. The engine that makes the sound you so covet.

As for twin charged. The tuning requirements for a turbo and S/C can be a bit of a pain. But does yeild good results now a twin turbo set up and the skies the limit.

Single turbo only will work far better than any twin-charged setup and be much easier to setup and tune.

Turbos will always provide more potential power than a blower or twin charged system because they are not parasitic. It takes engine power to turn a blower, turbos turn due to a byproduct of exhaust gas pressure.

That, coupled with the fact you tune for one source of boost makes the turbo the hands down winner. Why get fancy when simple does it, and does it well?
