few questions

i finally got my warpspeed y pipe on and i removed the bottom of my stock air box and installed the KnN air filter..I def. feel the power i raced my brothers 1999 Honda Accord Ex v6 and dusted him with ease...however we both have automatics which leads to my next question, i am good friends with a guy who owns a speed shop and he is giving me a good deal on either a turbo or supercharger and ive heard that with an auto a supercharger is better, but im not sure...what have you guys heard?
and also i removed the rear emblems and can't seem to get the residue off i mean i got the glue stuff, but the paint is like off colored there..wat can i do

Turbocharger > Supercharger when it comes to 1/4 mile racing. However, the supercharger is more reliable. If it breaks, you can still drive the car with it bolted to the engine. Your best mod right now would be to convert to a 5spd. My auto was heavily modified and I thought it was fast. Then, it became a 5spd and I can't believe the difference.

As for the debading, use a hair dryer and heat up the residue. Then, use some Goo Gone and elbow grease; it'll come off. Try using a swirl remover or mild polish to even out the paint.

i dont know a "good" ammount about either of these subjects but it SEEMS as if the 3.5 swap is easier and around the same cost as the tranny swap.
but dont listen to me, this is actually more of a question.
and yeah i'd definently do one of those two before getting a supercharger or turbo.
also, i kind of noticed this today. I removed my nissan emblem on the trunk a couple months ago. (I got all of the gunk off with rubbing compound). and it was slightly noticeable taht the paint color was a different shade, but now it seems as if it blended in or something.
