100% turbo... s/c is crap for the sohc i've seen a couple modded s/c ex's at the track run low-mid 15's with decent drivers. it's not worth the money.

I'm pro supercharger, but for the sohc applications I agree that a turbo would be the way to go.

For Dual And Single Cam Installations go Turbo. You will be very very happy that you did. I mean I guess the only reason you would think about getting a SC, is if you were a Auto X, person.

Turbo is fast while charger is torque....Turbo for drag....Charger for AutoX. My 2 cents...

JRSC's only work good on GSR's and Si's, and for dragging, turbo ownzzz.

AutoX and Street = SC heaven.

(And my 1/4 mile times don't suck either!)

well turbos don't really own dragracing, but for import cars they do. if they ruled dragracing then top fuelers would run turbo, but they are supercharged. superchargers have no spoolup time so they provide instant power and are also a lot easier to install(from what i hear). with a turbo you get the cool "ppffffttt" sound when shifting and just putting the clutch in to hear it. i would go turbo as they make more sense for street and strip use.
