Default How should I build my car?

I own a 2000 Black R and am getting the urge to start modifing it, but cannot decide what I want to do to it. A friend of mine had a built turbo'ed 94 GSR that put 361 to the ground. That car was a blast to be in, and surprised quite a few LS1's on spray. The only problem with turbo is that the car will handle like ***, too much wheel spin coming out of corners, and we are talking about a Type R here. So far I am leaning towards turbo charging it, but would like everyone's opinions.

Thanks

Come on who we kidding you arent gonna autocross your car. You're looking to kick some domestic butt. Go with the turbo, build your bottom end, and have fun.

For reliability, NA, for speed, Turbo. My choice is NA though.

Hey at least its not like some of the Many Emails I get that sound like this.
"Hi, My name is --- I would like some info on a Spoon engine and a turbo kit. Also how much boost can the Spoon engine handle?"
