If he goes with a blower the air is forced through so the peak airflow #'s will be higher than in a naturally aspirated engine so there won't be much of a difference in power below 6000 rpms. Go look at almost all of the dyno tests and you'll see that the short runner intakes in a N/A motor make less power until 5300+ rpms and then creep past afterwards. Add a blower and that # gets even higher.
When I'm talking about power out of boost, I'm talking street driving, accelerating onto a freeway, passing on a two lane highway, you know, stuff that doesn't start with dumping the clutch at 6000, in these situations the street heat is going to be a much better choice.
