I chose my 135i because it was just as quick as a stock 06 GTO, close to the quickness 5.0 Mustang, faster than a Camaro SS and also it got better gas mileage and still had 4 seats. While you're swapping heads, adding a cam(s) or stroking your N/A engine, the FI guys are tuning, adding meth, swapping turbo's/changing pullies or adding a FMIC. They will still be faster and making more power.
Top fuel dragster are S/C monster V8s pushing 8000 hp, why? Because the V8 is as far as it will go so they needed the S/C to help out. They go 0-100 mph in .7 seconds......

My car doesn't have a turbo. And if they "must" leave the NA route why not superchargers. So then there wouldn't be any turbo lag.
