What would you do? (Engine decision)

Well, over this winter I will be doing something to my N/A, just havent decided what yet. I was planning on the EFI supercharger kit that camden is coming out with, but its probably going to be fairly expensive, and I just got an email from them with a predicted HP output of the system, and was a little disappointed.. So, with the money I was going to spend on that, I could build another N/A engine. The only constraint, I have to stay emissions compliant. So, could use T2 housings and make a 4-port N/A with a huge streetport, or 6-port with a partial bridge. Just throwing ideas out. What would be a good setup for some power on a street-driven N/A? Maybe just a big *** streetport? I guess that S/C isnt totally out of the question though.. just thinking through some options.

I'd do a six port extended street port or aux bridge with custom intake manifold, air horns, and standalone.

They told me that they dynod at 180RWHP. Now, I dont have all the info, this could be stock everything else, down to the cats and airbox, which if that is true I guess that isnt too bad of a number, considering the ~120rwhp a S4 puts out stock. A 60 rwhp gain with stock exhaust would be pretty darn good actually.

i'd recommend the supercharger. i've compared figures and it'll give you the best hp gain for the least $$ while staying in emissions standards...

unless there's an alternative i don't know about...
