Supercharger. So you can argue the great debate. Bah.....no I cant stear ya wrong. Go DRAG3 or even wait for 4, whenever it comes out.

I've heard of doing the Greddy kit, Rev hard kit also. Anyone suggest otherwise? Remember this is for dailey driving and I need to pass emissions.

Re: Impulse buying!!!!! (mano77)
well, I say turbo...reason being....
I know a guy who runs a fully built b16 (10.8:1 compression) with vortech+water aftercooler and ice/water tank in back running 17psi, slicks, stripped car, carbon fiber hood/fenders/front clip, and suspension in a 97 hatch....he only ran a 13.1...this guy has been building and running cars for years now. To me, those times are not too impressive for how much is done. I've ridden in it, yeah its amazing, fastest car I have been in, but not worth it. Doesn't hit full boost till 7500 rpms (redline = 9000), at vtec, the car basically transforms into a monster, but until then....very dissapointing. I'm not all knowing, but I think you could easily hit that much boost with a turbo around 5000 or so.
If you have somewhat bigger plans down the road, just go turbo.

are you serious ? i read something about them getting like a 14.7 out of it or some ****....superchargers on hondas just arent practical to me anymore (coming from a former jrsc owner...lol)

the moral of this story? dont get vortech or you will get smoked by a $2000 car and a weaker version of your car with half the horsepower and an automatic. it was truely sad... i swore the kid was just a ricer with vortech stickers until i saw the same exact car in the magazine.
