Curious why you like the SC setup on the track as opposed to a turbo? I've considered a SC setup for a nice linear throttle response on the autocross track.

That's just my daily driver. I am a "conefag" as we sometimes get referred to as, but haven't seriously competed in 2-3 years as i beat my head against a brick wall fighting with the race car.
Honestly, i don't really cope or do much. I try to make at least one long trip a year to some cool roads, and this year i did 7500+ miles going through Colorado to Vancouver BC, then all the way down the coast to San Diego via Highway 1 and 101. Then home.
Then a week and a half later, went to MATG.
Then i've got two cars this year i'm fielding at the GRM $2013 Challenge, so i just stay busy.
I'm in Indy and have a very well equipped if extremely crammed garage, you're more than welcome to come up and hang out/work on your car/work on my cars/drink my beer whenever you like!
RACEKOR!!!!

That picture was taken in Gainesville, FL at the $2012 Grassroots Motorsports Challenge.

I've been curious about the GRM $20XX challenges as well. What types of events do you compete at? Autocross? Track? I bet you can manage some great engineering feats with just over $2k. What are the two cars you're building for it?
I'll have to stop by if I'm ever planning to be up there, or if you make it down to Columbus I'd say my garage is always in use and probably equally as packed!

The GRM $20xx Challenge is an autocross, 1/4 drag, and a show.
This year, total budget including car is $2013. You're familiar with budget racing anyways, i see. :P
The car in my sig is my daily driver, i'll be taking it back for another attempt, and i'm building an additional 88 MX6 GT that's going to my buddy in Minneapolis who will be bringing it.

... but a turbo setup for the track. I'm sure you could get a small inertia turbo setup with nice short piping for good transient response for the autocross days too, I have not experienced such bliss however :( With the design improvements on increasing the efficiency of superchargers these days one must consider all options in the quest for MOAR POWA! (There, thought completed!)
