Lots of mis-information in this thread.
Get a D1SC kit if you're looking to build it up later. Going N/A on a 2v, is probably the worst most costly thing you could do. My hats off to a few people who have done it successfully and spent assloads of money getting there. But my used 2500$ s/c kit puts out more power than just about every 2v out there.

Sniper,
You might think about unloading the car to one of your buddies, and "buy up" (Cobra/Saleen/Roush, etc.).
That way you have instant equity in something that will appreciate in value--remember, people love to
buy a car for $10,000 that someone has $25,000 invested in.
Just a thought.

Where'd you get your s/c kit? Please don't tell me ebay because I've had bad experiences with ebay... But yea I'm interested. And what else have you done to the car, as far as beefing things up and strengthening? Sounds practical to me, andpractical is always good.

I got my kit off of corral.net's classifieds. It's a forum just like we have, but the classified section is very active. I wasn't in any hurry to buy the s/c so I had the option of being patient. Three months before I actually was ready to purchase the s/c, someone was selling this p1sc kit and they were about 1.5 hours from me. I jumped on it, and just let it sit in my closet for about 2.5 months before I installed it. I've had good expeeriences there.... bought ceramic coated LT's brand new for 400 shipped, brand new nitto's 200shipped, used catted shorty H 70shipped.
Doing what I did you just have to have patience though and just check the forums everyday to see whats new. Also, nitrous isn't a bad way to go. You just have to decide what exactly you want and if the extra money for the s/c is worth it to you. Either way you go nitrous or s/c you cant go wrong, much better route than n/a.

It's a stock engine; currently i have a t45 with a king cobra clutch. However, the tranny is all but dead. I have a t3650 and a spec2 and mgw shifter waiting to go in any weekend here. Was supposed to be this weekend but my buddy went away that was gonna help me.

And the reason I dont wanna go with spray is that I always want that power to be there... I dont want to have to push a button, you know? If I feel like going for a joy ride, I dont want to havekeep using the nitrous, then sometime in the future show up at a race and realize my bottle's empty, you know? It's just a thing I have...
