alright, i have yet another question.

How hard is it to swap my car over to fuel injection? i really want to do this, but i have no idea on how hard/ whats involved.

I know i'd need dizzy, upper and lower intake, ecu, fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel lines, wiring harness, but is there a write up on how to do it?

I looked around for a bit and can't seem to find a decent write up on it =(

XD and as for whoring yourself out... uh.... nah lol.try the lotto lol

idk i like superchargers more on a muscle engine. turbo's are cool too and all but i see that as more of a tuner thing. besides instant boost right from throttle and with a nice good forged internals engine and a higher boost supercharger, why would you need turbo's?

ignorance my friend. you need to update your knowledge with todays times. turbos of today make lag a thing of the past. with a properly match turbo to your build there is virtually no lag, and you'll have more potential than a SC
