i personaly would NOT turbo an engine that is so agresively cammed... i think that a ctr motor would perform better with intensive N/A work.. i feel the same about a itr motor. but a gsr motor on the other hand is slightly less agresive and i have personaly seen respond well to turbo... but for 1/4 mile i don't like turbo since it is top end power as spooling times need to be accounted for... i feel that in 1/4 mile (with hondas at least since they are for the most part high end/high reving cars anyway) we should seek a power adder or tunign that will help generate significant low end as well as mid adn high end power (supercharger, or nitrous) since the power is instand adn over the WHOLE power band, and not building.. we must remember we need to view the ENTIRE power band and realize that a full gain of 80 hp over the WHOLE power band is BETTER than 100 hp gain JUST in high rpms... you also need to address tranny gearing... i personaly would like (for my car which is a 98 ex) a gsr motor with 100 shot... i have the nitrous already and i love the performance of it.. just waiting on a swap.. hopefully by spring
