I'm gonna go with the F1A. Not cutting or custimizing. Just seems a little more user friendly. It's also cheaper.

Anyone disagree?

Had nitrous, had a turbo, now I'm of a mind to go to the blower. Hit for the cycle.

Both have been proven to work great and both both have their good points and bad.In the end it just becomes a choice of which is better for you.

No coughing here, TURBO, but the F1 would be killer too. I was going to go with a D1 and maybe a F1 but opted for a turbo and can't wait for spring. No looking back

TURBO.


Do you want full boost for 100rpm or 3000rpm?

A well built turbo kit will net you more tq and a better power band. You won't have any stupid belt problems and you wont have to take 45minutes to change the boost up and down.

Look at outlaw drag radial classes or even 10.5 for the matter...the prochargers are there, sure....but the turbo cars out qualify and out number them 10:1....

Look at the LSX shootout, DR winners and True Street winners were turbos.


TURBO IT and NEVER look back!
