Turbo cars have more traction than 90% of comparable nitrous cars. Turbos are inherently progressive, nitrous hits instantly.

I hate being broke, buying tires all the time, and my car always being down. Is it worth it......oh hell yes.

I agree! 6 months out of the year im stuck driving a saturn, while my truck and car sit in storage. The only good part about that is the mileage stays low on them.

The only thing I hate about my turbo setup is the fact that all you have to do is turn the black **** or push the up button to make more power. It is to easy to screrw something up like that. It takes restraint, something I don't have alot of when it comes to HP.!

after everything started working right...noty to many complaints, buying all the safety **** for the track..less weight and more traction, more parts to buy.
