before you let someone else decide for you. Youn need to decide on what you want to do with your car. If you are looking for great timeslips at the track yeah I say go turbo. If your looking for more of a reliable setup( Not saying turbos aren't reliable) that is better for driving in traffic and passing i would say look into a Jackson Racing Supercharger. I have one on my lude and i love it, of course i'm not looking to walk down any 2003 cobras anytime soon.

I would do some research yourself on whether to purchase a turbo or a supercharger. Vortech is a good company for superchargers and Honda engines work better with a supercharger because of the high compression ratios. But, if you are looking for more power I would definetly opt for the turbo, If it was me i would go turbo. But do some reading and YOU choose what u wanna do

I'd try a new Cobra. Who know's? If he doesn't launch right I have chance.

NightHawk: My site linked below is old, but you could get some insight into JRSC GSR's.

Turbo will be faster in the end and it can be done safely (to the engine).

JRSC is great for autocrossing. Probably better than turbo.
