Thats not enough, you will need a whole lot of seat time on that bike before you can be putting down competitive ET's...So which ever bike you choose, you will need plenty of $ for spare motors for tunning & seat time!!!

I`d do a turbo...I hate worrying about bottles,pressures,purging,ect.ect.ect.....
Turbo`s are the power adder of the future/NOW.....

Turbos are the same difference...You have to worry about the Boost controller, ramp and everything else that goes with the turbo!!!

Turbo is good but expensive if you do it properly.
Gas is also good but you hit the 50hp limit which then needs a built motor to take any more hp safely,plus the gas is a bit like pay as you go performance because you use more than you think and it costs you every trip.

I'd help my boy Jason Miller build me a Pro Street Turbo Busa, then have Coby Adams build me a Pro Street 14 after I win the lottery of course

id buy a prostreet turbo at the end of the season.
one with a winning record, and 1 year support.
WHY>
its cheaper to buy a used bike than build one, Also a well sorted package is more than the sum on parts.

If money was no problem.I'd buy a Pro Stocker with 3 spare engines,lotsa extra clutches,sprockets,slicks etc. Normally aspirated and pour C25 out of a can. Sorry no blow dryers or n2o here. Old school horse power! Remember $$$ is no problem.
