Smile Turbo vs Nitrous vs All motor

I know this is a Turbo forum but this question always brings up a good discussion....What is your preference for Drag racing and/or Road? Turbo all the way for me, Dr. Jeykll on the street and Mr. Hyde at the push of a button!

Lets hear it from ya and see what we get!

When your car comes with a less than 100 hp engine, it's boost all the way.

Ah the sweet sound of boost which translates to twice the power...maybe some of the coffee can 4 cylinders will take note... or not!

I know alot of people who USED to run nitrous....

...nitrous engines are so reliable that they are using Dzus fasteners for motor mounts

HAHA!!! Too true! I'll take boost anyday... I've had my hand in enough these days to have a decent idea hw it all works, and some of these bolt on kits these days are getting to me real sweet. Look a Greddy's kits for the new Civic and the Scion TC...sweet kits, with little guess work. I can't believe it took this long for people to get over the stigma of turbos. We've have factory fuel injection systems for sooooo long, why I didn't come around sooner I'll never know.

No joke! My journey has been an epic itself...Mopar muscle, then Honda Civic, then air cooled VW, and finally, I MEAN finally I find boost! Its comparable to getting third base when you are a virgin! No seriously the bolt on kits should be making believers out of everybody....there are kits for chevy cavaliers! Are you kidding! When they feel the boost come on, they will realize what they have been missing...hopefully!

Well.... I had a car on nitrous. It was cool as hell but I got tired of refilling the bottle. It gets quite expensive if you race often. That's when I switched over to Turbo for the first time. No words can say...
