Alright...Well is nos worth it period then..Mainly my supebsion is being built up for
autocross and I plan on having cams/ecu/header/exhuast/intake/etc.. when I go
also...But since I'm a college kid on a budget I figured I'll go with nos before
anything else...I also like highway races too...I would like the extra power on tap
but how does it feel...I'm used to my old rabbits with built 2.0 and running mid 14's
in the 1/4..how will this compare ?
Thanx,
Greyson
