Im doing some research on SuperCharging with a ProCharger or simular
centrifugal Brand,  and was wondering how the factory  drivetrains stand
up to the additional 150 plus H.P. on stock tires , providing one doesnt
get too crazy applying all that power ( IE:  easing into the throttle )
.

Have you found the drivetrains to hold up pretty well from those youve
talked to ?  Any opinions ? Thanks.

A4 or M6?

Also, how many pounds of boost do you intend to run?

I would have to agree.  I could see doing what you can to squeeze a bit
more out of an existing 305 if trying to stay smog legal (such as in CA)
but if it's an option, go for the 350 every time.  That's what I have
planned for my 89, I just haven't decided if I am going for a 350 from
the same era, or if I am going to go for an LS1 drivetrain from a 98+.
