[QUOTE="PistolWhip, post: 11538710, member: 30361"] If your ultimate goal is to go 9's once and then just enjoy going mid 10's, get the TVS and hold onto the nitrous for a little while. If your ultimate goal is to go 9's and never look back, get a whipple and do just that. Nitrous is a PIA if you ask me and even though I've had it on many of my cars in the past, I don't think I'd be interested in going that route after having a Whipple equipped car. As specially since I've never been able to commit myself or my cars to being 9 second cars. Once I went 10's in my 03 I knind of "got it out of my system" and then rarely ever took the car to the track after that anyway. Going 9's or even low 10's consistently is a big commitment. You put yourself in a situation where you have to decide whether your going to commit to the safety requirements and whether its worth the effort for the time your going to spend on the track. I've never had the luxury of being a "real racer" with my schedule and financial situation and spending weekends at the track competing is a SERIOUS financial (among other things) commitment. My cars have always been for my own pleasure and for the most part weekend and nice weather street cars. That being said, it never made sense to me to commit to building a car to going low 10's or 9's consistently since the safety requirements meant that the car would no longer be convenient or thoroughly enjoyable to drive on the street. Now if you plan on getting the car to go 9's simply so you can say you did it, then you'll be happy with a mid 10 second street car; get the TVS throw the nitrous on it for a couple runs, get your 9 second time slip and then sell the nitrous and just enjoy the 600+ RWHP street car you have. If your the kind of person that will never be happy going any slower than your fastest time slip dictates, a Whipple or KB is the way to go, but understand that your getting yourself into a completely different realm of drivability. There are plenty of people out there that drive their cars on the street with cages, harnesses and the other required safety equipment, but that's never been for me and your the only one that can decide if its for you. I don't see the point in going half ass with anything though so I've always been of the mind set that if your gonna do it, do it right. Either way, your going to end up with a car thats more poreful than you'll even need and clearly the most powerful car you'll normally come up against both on the track on Friday night grudge night and on the street.
