Default Narrowed down to NOS or TURBO.......

So now its down to either ZEX nos setup OR wait till i have enough money(which will be a long time) and buy a Greddy Turbo setup. I figured that with the ZEX setup, id also get a ZEX camshaft, new ZEX spark plugs, and upgrade to a AEM cam gear. Ive totaled all of this to be around $750, and the Turbo set up would run be about $1950. So i figured that i could get a noticeable amount of HP and torque by only spending $750 dollars and waiting alot less, then i would to get a Turbo set up. Ive heard many BAD stories about NOS on a non-built engine, which mine is besides I/H/E. My motor has 104k miles and is a SOHC vtec. Anyones thoughts/ideas or just comments on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

forget greddy, go custom and build a turbo from piecing the parts together slowly. probably end up spending way less that 2 grand if u smart shop. or go super custom and do junkyard turbo.

Run a compression test - if the numbers are still good, squeeze away! Read dubster99's sig... that should explain people and nitrous.
