'71 Demon Ebay turbo kit

Definitely add ring gap. There’s no such thing as free horsepower, there’s always a cost whether it’s time, money or reliability. They can add significant power but Intercoolers are expensive and add significant cost and complexity in packaging. For 8psi, I’d run a blow through carb and a cheap water meth kit. I’m 1200+ whp and still running nothing but water/meth.

I don’t disagree with you, water meth does work. But a decent kit is more expensive than an air to air, and you have to keep filling it with something (more $). An air to air is stupid proof (read: simple). I like the blow through carb, Ive made a bunch of power with one and they’re a form of intercooling by themselves. On my big block the temp delta across the carb was 115 degrees at 9psi.
