[QUOTE="HomeboyNorm, post: 6016612, member: 19007"] Sure, it can be a daily driver, but what's 1, 2, or 3 seconds and few MPH faster for $15k-$20k more if that's how the car will be used? I do realize some people have very deep pockets so money is not even a concern. For those that money is of a concern to.. You can go and buy a liter bike and be the king of streets for under $10k. Then you still have a dependable Cobra that can go 100,000 miles or beyond. You can't really use all of that power even stock on the streets before you start breaking the laws anyway. Problems will be inevitable when you start swapping power adders unless you are one of the few lucky ones who didn't have to work out all the kinks, and so on. My very near stock Cobra still gives me a smile every time out and that's with best reliability. If money is a concern, then why not a port and polish and maybe a little bit of laughing gas? Save the money for when that dependable factory built engine finally gives up the ghost. It will still be powerful, and fast on the streets. The poster wants to do some road racing, so I wouldn't know about nitrous for that. Twin screw or turbo would probably be better in this situation if he has the money to burn on either set up. Either the twin screw or turbo swap will probably end up with engine rebuild at a later time if not already done the same time as a preventative action. [/QUOTE]
