your car, do what you want, speed is speed. Do you think Nox is any worse than the others? a fast car is a fast car no matter how you slice it.

i would much rather not hear that hissing when the turbo spools up and then the shift u hear the blowoff valve. but hey u do what u gotta do to gain power. a supercharer has a higer pitched wine that still sounds awakared. if i could i would stay normally asspirated but there is only so far you can go with the block on the 4.6. so a power adder is necessary if you want to throw down some big numbers.

Dude, I raced a turbo gtp the other night (yes turbo not s/c'd) we went from a 50 roll and I jumped up on him by like 2 lengths then all of a sudden he comes speeding by with probably one of the coolest sounding cars in the world. I'm going supercharger but if I could I would def go turbo, not alot of people have them on mustangs and they are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
