I would pick a 408 over a blower anyday. Personaly I think Forced induction on a stock motor is cheating. Just look at ford, its amazing how boost can make up for a very poor engine design. And I was watching a tv show on the building of the new Ford GT40, I could not belive that they would put a 5.4L with a blower in a car that will cost +$100K.

I just like the FI or nitrous route because of the driveability and gas milage when you are not at WOT. I laugh when people say it is cheating. There is no such hting as cheating. What makes an all motor setup with tons of cubic inches more legit than a small cube motor with a power adder???
