Alright I have done my research but still can't decided which I should go with. Thought I would turn to my fellow honda-tech peers to help me decide. Should I supercharge or turbocharge.

The purpose:
This car will be a daily driver. I love to road race with my car. This includes canyon roads and tracks (like Buttonwillow and Willow Springs). I want to be able to be a "freeway contender." I love being able to break off Corvettes and just any car that snarls at a Honda on the freeway. Drag? Ya of course I am going to drag race this car on the street against friends and such. But this is by far the least of my concerns. I AM NOT trying to break any records but do wish to make around 350-425 crank power. This should be plenty.

The car:
1996 Civic CX Hatchback.
Suspension: long long list
Brakes: 2000 Civic Si conversion
Tranny: JDM ITR. 6puck and HD PP with a 8.7lb flywheel.
Motor: LS/VTEC (81.5mm) with Weisco 9.3-9.8 and Billet Crower rods. Lightened crankshaft (by 9lbs). PNPed ITR head with full line of Skunk2 head components (stage 1 cams)

Supercharge or Turbocharge?

some say super for out of the turns power (instant and steady) some say turbo for more top end power.

i would have said the same thing.....you have to build your internals too!

edit: I just read that you have a built engine

if you like to road race go with a GT28R ( or a RS )... it gives a nice power band with a good spool up !
