Getting hemi 5.7 to 500hp pump gas

ya know, im only 30. I grew up with the imports and the stupid blow off sound that the turbos were doing...and I developed the opinion. A a muscle car should not have a turbo. It should have a super charger.
Now my personal preference, maybe im just old skool at heart...Root style thru the hood blower, whining. NO turbos, no hiding it....show it.

Now I do realize turbos are free HP, superchargers are parasitic...I just can't make myself, put a turbo, in a muscle car.

Maybe im way off in my logic, but there you go.

My logic tells me the more driveable the better. Build a reasonable motor with decent compression, keep the boost low when on pump gas......not going to hook up on the street when you start talking higher hp anyways....track day gets here give it some octane & turn the boost up. Funds permitting for the turbo build it just does not make any sense to me to build a 500-600 hp "old school" build anymore...just like it does not make any sense to me to not have an od....but that is a whole nuther topic....
