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.

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.
