boost or spray i have tried to search this using the search tab. but nothing came up.
i am undecided if i should do a heads+cam+spray to get 600hp on a stock ls1.
or should i just do a turbo kit with cam head bolts and gasket...
im leaning towards the h/c spray idea.
whats the most reliable of the 2.

For that price, spray might be the only way. I am building a VERY budget minded front mount setup, and scavenging low price used parts where I can. I still have almost $4000 into it so far, and I'm not quite done yet.

i can do a turbo setup for a about 3k. i can get a turbo for cheap and stuff like that.
i was just thinking with the head cam spray setup i can beat on the car all week n/a and spray on the weekends when we go out and do our highway runs. i get nitrous between 3-4 bucks a lbs
and if i boosted it. i would be in boost 7 days a week.

thats a 1jz that came turbo so its gonna be more reliable than turboing a lsx that came na, plus 1jz are the baby 2jz so they can hold up to 1000 hp... i have one of those in my third gen supra too! btw what tranny were you using when you were eating one up every month?
