Just remember you're blessed with a choked off intake manifold, choked off intake port size on the head, a crappy rod ratio, and a 9.2:1 compression ratio, not to mention shitty gearing. Through all of this I take pride in my LS. As long as it starts up in the morning and gets me where I need to go, what the hell do I care. I'll start modding for speed when they up the speed limit by 50mph. Having a quick 1/4 doesn't make me more of a man.

ok did that zex kit come with the car? if it did find out how much the dude you bought if off of sprayed it. if he sprayed the balls out of it you might wanna consider building it first. if not return it. if you really want nitrous get an nx wet kit. if u want all motor go ls-vtec, if u want to run 5-7 psi go jackson racing charger, you will get the top AND low end with that. if u want to go high boost then go turbo.

supercharging a 4 cylinder isn't the way to go if you want real results, and by real i mean track times as opposed to hp ratings.

Sounds like a great combination for a turbo. :rick:

True, but I just don't want to deal with the problems that may arise from turbocharging my Integra. My next car will be a factory turbocharged car though. :exnbp:

More low-end torque than turbo, yes. More power than turbo, hell no.
