I am going to be building a 351W blown for my 1980 Mazda RX-7. It's kinda of a Ford. I'm going to be using a Dart block and all Trickflow components from the crank on up so it will be a solid platform. I just am not sure on what compression ratios I should use. I want between 600-800 hp without nitros. I know it can be easily achivable with this setup. I haven't picked out a blower because I wasn't really sure whch one to select with all the different boost settings.

Also is a blower any better than a turbo cahrger?
What are the pros and cons between them?

Thanks
