People are always asking the question of whether to go with a head and cam package, or go with a supercharger or turbocharger. There is no way you are to match the power of forced induction with a head and cam package unless you use a pretty radical camshaft. Nitrous oxide could be used instead of going the forced induction route, with very good results at a fraction of the cost. With forced induction, the power is always going to be there when you want it, with no nitrous bottles to constantly refill. I am not convinced that the turbo kits currently out on the market will stand the test of time. The APS kits are the best ones we have used to date, and we are indeed impressed with them, although they do take approx 1/3 longer to install than say an ATI ProCharger. Only time will tell how well they hold up. TurboChargers go through extreme heat cycles, which can fracture the turbo housing mounts.
ATI ProCharger D-1SC eight rib supercharger, pn# 1GJ204-SCI. Simply the best and easiest way to get 450 to 500 rwhp (140 rwhp gain) out of your car in my opinion, when combined with headers and a good cat back exhaust system. The car will still see great part throttle gas mileage, overall driveability will still be excellent, and the power is always there when you want it. At 8 pounds of boost, the car will be very dependable, and with the 4.5" twin high flow air to air intercoolers, unleaded premium is all you need to use. Bob
