But you could always get LS/turbo. Simple. Easily. Probably safer. still....your boosting.....Forced Induction......why not jsut spray nos....
keep nos for a year. Depending on how much you spray, you would have payed off a turbo kit. Not to mention that power isnt always there.

All motor HP is stronger than turbo HP or supercharged HP...its a debate but trust me...it is..2 cars the same weight with exactly same tranny...and 200 at the wheels. The all motor car will win every time.

Yeah...thats intelligent. There are too many factors that come into play when it comes to who will win over who. i say turbo because 200hp on a Na motor is too peaky and usually dont have the midrange a S/C or Turbo motor has.

i dont mean to sound cocky, but heres what i think, LS/Turbo because:

my roomie has a LS/Vtec in a GS-R wiht the following mods:
Skunk IM
OBD-II work around (think)
Skunk computer program
AEM intake
all sorts of fuel pressure and delivery shit
SMPS header - by the way, its reallllllly nice
no cat
tanbe racing medalian exhaust (cat back)
VAFC
valves and springs
milled head
rebuild bottem - stock parts

and all i have is a JDM h22a dumped in my prelude (see pic ) with intake and catback, and i work him racing, were pretty even from a roll, but when we lauch i guess the power comming in earlier really helps out. hes not a bad drive at all by anymeans, nor am i an expert, believe me i thought he'd walk me from a roll but i wasn't impressed at all considering all those mods, and my car weights in 200+ lbs more.....

LS/Turbo
