Go NA/AM or Vortech my GSR?
i'm now havin' trouble decidin' on some future mods for my Teg GSR...
i have basically all suspension mods except a front sway bar and rims
i have basically every fuel mod i can think of except injectors
i have brakes covered except goin' to a bigger caliper
i have all the basic things of cai/header/exhaust/h-f cat
i'll have cams, port and polished (mayb shaved head), ported intake manifold, big-bore TB, and a tuned ECU
now, i'm either gonna increase my compression and mayb do some nitrous or i'm gonna put a Vortech S/C system on my GSR, which do u guys suggest? i know not alot of people have done or r doin' Vortech, that's why i'm lookin' into tryin' them out, also that way i won't have to get rid of my header(turbo) nor the ported intake manifold(JR S/C)
give me some opinions please, thanx,
Jay

Vortech really isn't all that great.
The gains are like a mild mix between JRSC and a good Turbo setup.
It produces higher peak HP numbers than a JRSC, but has a poor HP/TQ curve. So basicly it doesn't give you as much HP as a turbo, nor does it give you the instant boost of a JRSC.
Not really worth it IMO

I'd say go with the nitrous, but make sure it is hooked up by someone who has experience with N20...........this way you are not really putting the constant pressure of F/A on your motor, but you can still eat Forced induction cars alive

i'd look into nitrous
But good suspension is key, and well so are tires.
i'll lookin to a light weight wheel and tire combo first, cause your tires are what make contact with the road, and are very important.
suspension wise what do you have? cause a good suspension setup is not cheap.
as for what i'd go with turbo, anything else is well not really cool.
list suspension
