Cost, weight, overcomplication, tuning issues. A properly sized single or twin turbo setup is going to make as good or better power than any compound setup, that's why you don't see many. At high rpm, the blower just becomes a restriction.Gearing...again...what is the car being used for? Most of the turbo Terminator guys use stock or close to stock gearing to load the turbo up really good because they are highway racers. Someone interested in drag racing would probably see more benefit out of the traditional high gear/tall slick combination.Your transmission issue is use of car again, and personal preference. Most guys drive street cars and want to stay stick because it's more fun. Obviously a turbo setup would respond at the track better to a big stalled built auto as it will build boost on the line and between shifts.Chris, we've been down this road before. For what you do with the car, you need to find yourself a stock 03 Cobra drivetrain and swap it in. Drive it. If that's not enough, do the normal clutch, whipple, intake/exhaust. For what you do with the car, this would be the least complicated, least expensive, and most realistic way of upgrading your vehicle. Don't start some massive project that is never going to end (see my thread...)</blockquote>
