Be unique... go centrifugal. Sounds way better than turbo or m90.

Indeed, after getting the link from Herc's site, I ended up finding the whipple after shopping for suspension. Brad, why is the whipple overrated?

I just though about something. If you want 12s, you are not dealing with some slow ricers with a bunch of heavy worthless mods but with some guys tunning compact cars. If you put a turbo on it, your GP won't get the respect you're looking for. They'll say "You had to put a turbo on it to beat us". I change my vote to adding power adders. You can still go 12s with the S/C. That would be a HUGE slap in the face to everyone that competes with you. Just because you are going to get a lot more funds doesn't mean you should start spending it or a depreciating car. Save for a house. That way you can beat everyone in your neighborhood with a straight face (just to make them mad) and drive into your driveway where a couple more cars are parked where a hot girl is waiting for you (hey, you got to afford her). Why beat a couple of folks in a race when you can save and beat them all in the game of life

I think i might go with the whipple. all Ive been thinking about is that sound!!! that would scare the piss out of these ricers lmao. And like someone on clubgp told me...turbo's are tried and proven, but a whipple, not many have them. I do like to be different

Do more research into it. I've been following a guy on clubgp who was having issues for a long time with his setup.
I agree with most others who are saying the gains from a nicely modded M90 setup far outweigh the coolness effect of a whipple. Up to you though.
