Im in Los Angeles California.

My BIG question for this car is ... Turbo or Super ??? I am not going to be racing around so I would like to keep the engine as stock as possible but I NEED more HP. My last car had 220 HP and 190 Torque, I would like to get as close to that as possible

Which will be less of a stress on my engine and maintain solid power throughout Most of the powerband?

Thanks for the input!

Welcome to HS :cool: Great car you have there. I'm not familiar with the engine options at this point. Who makes a SC for your car?

i think jackson racing makes one. i'm in favor of a turbo, even if it does not make too much hp at lower rpms, but hey that's the purpose of a honda: big hp at hi revs :crazy:
