I'm tired of people telling others to buy faster stock cars. Sure, it makes more sense, but if sense had anything to do with anything we'd almost all be driving straight up two or three cylinder economy cars.

So whatever moves YOU, do it.

But that's not to say stop offering advice. For all the people who ask the question, "how do I make 300 hp and still have a reliable car?" To them, yes, buy a faster stock car. But to think that answer suits everyone, is ridiculous.
that was possiably THE most profound response ive heard all night.

personally i would use water injection. with a turbo. if you go fi and get water injection, youll gain 100 whp. i have a long time friend who goes to uti and they had a turbo civic that got 100 whp with the water injection. its better than nitrous. PERIOD.

does nitrous reallly wear and tear on your engine more than fi though, i mean both are making your engine run more than it should....
