What are your reasonings for taking off the turbo? Was this a simple set up or was it ***** to the wall for track performance?

I couldn't imagine going back NA
Every time I come to work I drive a brand new F-150 and the short drive to and from work just annoys the **** out of me. Power is addicting and I don't think I could downgrade now.

I recently pondered getting rid of the 370/Kenne Bell (putting it in my brother's C5) and going big cube h/c aluminum block with a little gas. Mainly for the weight balance that was mentioned earlier. I would probably change the suspension setup at the same time and get it back to a better handling street machine like it was earlier in it's life.

custm2500, no, absolutely not. Like ak2007r6 said, I coudn't imagine goin back, it's liked a downgrade. If I did, which I'm not, it'd have to make similiar power to what it's puttin out now. And it's not even tuned right. Someone told me my tune has alot left in it, so once it's right, I'll feel even more strongly on this idea of not goin back.

Jamie, I think your crazy if you ditch the boost. What made you not want to have it anymore? Just curious. Why not keep it, add a wilder cam, better heads? Yah thats it, rite thurr.

I couldn't imagine getting rid of 200-300 hp. It doesn't make any sense. I could see if you were having troubles with the system but it seems like especially a basic system is extremely reliable and shouldn't have any issues that come up regularly.

That is like dumping a hot *** chick that is easy to get along with for some fat ugly mean *** bitch. It just sounds retarded. That is why I asked the OP why they were considering leaving the boosted world.
