Go with the TURBO still have awsome drivability. Nothing beats a NItrous car though. At the track especially. I have an STS kit on my 2000 Trans am and my buddy has a 2002 With all the bolt on and a 150 shot and out of the whole he drags me like I'm bone stock. BUt on top end in the quater I pull back on him but not enough room to beat him. Turbos are great for highway runs.OH yeah go back to the party!!!!!!!!
