Not necessarily...
The sohc kit used the m45 blower which was good for about 6psi of boost. After that, it was high intake temp city. Knock would be prevalent, and you were forced to dial the timing back in order to keep the pistons inside the block.

The larger m62 blower which was used in the dohc engine kit was the much better choice. I used to push 300whp out of the m62 and b18c, with reasonable intake temps, and street happy timing. Adding an "intercooler" could net you an additional 40-50whp. I dont think they ever perfected the intercooler though.
