Do some more internal engine work and you'll open that up a bit more. Turbo is all fine and dandy but a lot harder to maintain, and nitrous... it makes me laugh... must be because its laughing gas.

Personally I am not looking to be the fastest all motor 5th gen. I am looking for the all around fun factor. One day when I have more money I hope to get certified and race cars.

They're "2nr" shows. It's all a bunch of overhyped crap and we all know these show cars are never going to do much of anything aside from get polished with a cloth diaper and parked under bright lights.

Say what???

When my motor was being built I had not one single problem locating or obtaining parts for it. There are as many parts available for the H as there is for the B series motors. The only real exception is the H23 but you can still locate a solid number of parts for them.

Obviously you made a completely blind comment or you have never looked for parts for anything but a B series before.

I have felt the snail and I have gone back to NA....my 58 Bug was turbo and NOS both but sometimes half the fun is in the challenge. When you bolt on the turbo it's instant gratification but there really is no challenge in it.
