Neither...nitrous will be easiest...a search will reveal everyones opinionated "facts" on this matter, but if you want a Sterling carb done any time soon, you'd better say "Viva la superchargers!!"

Really depends on what you plan on doing with your car. Each application has it's ups and downs. Just do a search on the forums and you'll come across many threads on this matter.

anyone have experiance with an electric supercharger? i heard they were really crappy (1-2 psi at most). i saw one for only $75 on ebay. I can't decide wether to go supercharged or turbo, but i am leaning towards supercharged because of ease of installation.

I met the Atkins "Mama & Papa" this weekend at the NHRA Event in Moroso, in FL.

Very nice people, and they told me how their son has been getting tickets left and right with his supercharged 1st gen.

I guess it's got to be quick.

I took some good pics of the stups outside the car, on an stand - and I like it.

Definately a nice upgrade if you have a good healthy engine with all the N/A bolt ons. Very simple too.

They told me their son gets like 25 mpg too, which is insane!

I wish I could get a ride in a S/C first gen just to see what it's like. They really should post some vids and dynos of the car.
