Default What route...

I have a 93 SI with a 94 GSR motor. Currently sitting at 11.5 CR. NEED more power! Should I go N/A or supercharge this thing? Opinions are appreciated. Currently running mid-high 14's with this setup at 97mph trap speed. Want to run high 12s, low 13s.

Love turbos...can't afford maintence cost...daily driver 24/7, travel 60+ miles to and from work. Thanks for the advice.

Later.

i think getting a supercharger will be cheaper then going N/A cause N/A gets harder and harder to do and more and more expensive as you go, but i still think a turbo would be much better for a four banger and supercharger is for v8-v6

I would go turbo .... More speed=More money. Who ever said goin' fast was free?? Or you could try a NOS set up. But your CR is kinda high .... just dont blow the thing up. With either turbo or NOS you'll have to change your set up eitherway. If you dont want to change all or that.... get Big cams. A high compression B18C running mid 14's? Why so slow? Running 14.7 in a 91 HB with B16A. Its all stock. Your B18C with 11:6 CR should be running 14 flat roughly.... what other mods do you have?
