i'd say go w/ boost because its in a heavier chassis and that 1.6 needs some torque!

My opinion, go boost for that heavier chassis.

All motor man, I too have a heavy *** coupe, boost probably would of been a little faster, but I built a LsVtec with high compression and big cams, runs a high 13 sec quarter with 205whp. I am shooting for 220whp, so we will see what that runs.

Cool. I've been bottom 12's in a heavy *** EK sedan with full interior, a cage, a big stereo, street tires, 91 octane pump gas, with quiet exhaust, and easy shifting.

But, you know, all motor is cool too.

(seriously though, you asked this in an all motor forum, what did you expect? This is like going to a Star Trek conference and asking what is the best TV show ever)

I am hardcore all motor myself. But really, it will take a sick *** setup and tons of practice and slicks to run 13's comfortably. But you can't beat the feeling when some random guy at the track says, wow that things fast, whats it got a turbo or nitrous?, and you say, no its all motor.
