true, id love to have a turbo kit over nitrous. Turbo owns. I love turbo, but i dont have the money for it at this point. Popping a ls1 is quite costly, around 3500, and putting it in is a whole nother story. Id rather pay to fill the bottle, make 550 hp and use the money i saved on a turbo kit for a 9 in rear end. I'll run 10s on stock bottom longblock with gratuitous amounts of nitrous and a 9 inch rear end. My closing arguement, turbo is better than nitrous, nitrous is cheaper in the short run.

Your argument for running nitrous over a turbo is that turbos pop motors?

Nitrous has never done that, everrr

No. I've blown engines with nitrous and turbo. Nitrous' advantage over turbo is
cheaper - money saved can be used towards a stronger drivetrain
easier to install - can keep ac and the wonderful luxuries of an american car :1
I already have headers and intake, so i wouldnt have to sell those parts.

Turbo's advantage over nitrous is

More power
More fun powerband
Dont have to refill the bottle
COOL JDM BOV SOUND!


In the end, if i had bottomless pockets, of course id go turbo. But with the money I have and make, id rather go with nitrous and save the money to put a built rear end in. Jon i dont believe you've ever worked on a LS1, so i doubt you can comprehend how difficult of a car it is to work on. And how pricey things are for this car. i could buy 3 gsr swaps for the price of one ls1, and i could swap 5 engines in a honda before i could swap one LS1.
Turbo is better than nitrous, but nitrous is the best bang for the buck.
