I like the sound of the turbo, however; this car is only a weekend car. I will only race on street and maybe the track once or twice to see what my car can do. I want quick accel. I am looking at getting from 0-120 range quick. I am not looking for any faster b/c i dont want to die.

Personally I prefer teh sound of a supercharger over the sound of a turboharger. Especially when sitting at a redlight or something like that. With a turbo, you'd never know it was there (which could be a good thing or a bad thing.) But there's ni mistaking the sound of a supercharger at idle. It can be quite intimidating and can kep the ricers from even trying to run.

Click on the link just below my sig and you can hear my supercharger at idle.

i do like the sound of that. I do like the silence tho so no one know whats under the hood. what would be in my best interest for acceleration, 0-120, not looking for crazy top end speed.

Define quick? Sounds like nitrous would be your best friend, occasional weekend and track use, nitrous is cheapest, you'd get your money's worth

Oh damn! What the hell have you been putting together down in RI? I never figured you for a Zex guy though. I like Zex, but I had you pegged for an NX guy.

I bet you he did it cuz the bottle is purple

I just traded my 15lb NX bottle for a 10lb NOS bottle. The NX was just too damned big for me. Can't wait to get this filled and reinstalled
