Default NEED SOME INPUT!!!!!!!!!!

Here is tthe mid south in a far far away tater hill is a place called RIDE REVOLUTION. It is a Huge candy store for people of the sport like we are in . CAR MODIFICATIONS. ANYHOW . talking to 1 of the reps there. I own a 97accord with the factory 2.2 Vtec SOHC........ Mind you i love my car very much and the moter that drives it . I ask . What Is a sound thing to do . Turbo, Swap . What.....
I always thought for the 2500 cash for a H22 swap just for a 50 stock horse was well Horse pucky . then my eyes was opened to Further facts. Its just base stock 50 hp . Not counting little extra mods addons etc. MINOR WORK>>>>> As i was also drueling now over the new light that shines in my eyes. I ask . Standard 8PSI Turbo kit? He shakes his head and says to me . 50 Shot Nitro and be done . From what i am told and to understand that the Pistons on the H series hondas are Very Weird on how they are made . Some kinda funny medal that they are made from. Also all the Retuneing headaches etc etc . He says Y go through all that when you Flip a switch . Take a shot then refill every so offten. Makes sence to me . But i like some SERIOUS info . NITOR AND TURBO . Whitch is more sensable and Long term durable????????

You're going on 3 hours of NOTHING on four days.

Nitrous is something not to toy with, if you make a tiny error you'll blow a hole in your block.

50 hp is about the maximum I'd do on a stock block so you'll run into some wear and tear issues.

A turbo is RELIABLE daily driving power that will give you more power than an H swap, but

The H is the most consistent and reliable swap. No spool up time, no need to refill bottles, won't blow your engine if it stays stock

If that shop owner wants you to just use nitrous and says the other options are BAD i'd go somewhere else.
