I prefer tq over hp.
3.5, nitrous, and turbo all provide tq.
s/c's... well s/c's are cool we all seen what mexi sleeper mardi cmax etc put down and ran at the track. i(mpressive and ground breaking).

if your looking to be different buy a toyota and build it like no other 1000 toyotas like it.

Forced induction/nitrous has many components and you have to understand it's workings so you can tune the engine so it runs right. A nitrous and supercharger "kit" is great for beginners because it removes all the fabrication skills you need to understand besides tuning. A turbo is the best option once you understand tuning and fabrication. Once you get past a certain HP level on the supercharger such as 400hp you start running into other problems such as belt slip and if you want more power you need to upgrade the impeller which is a pricey part that is why you don't see many high horsepower supercharger setups. Most people by then know better about cost vs. hp and move on to a turbocharger. Then you realize the transmission can't handle that power well although PAR makes custom gear(s). Same thing with nitrous, anyone can get away with a "small" shot but the more you start to run the more you need to understand about tuning; wideband 02 sensor, colder heat range spark plugs, extra fuel including fuel pumps, injectors, and AirFuelControllers. It all depends on your financial stand point of view. The fastest and easiest way to get power is to run a stock motor and have a nitrous setup. This way you can get to a point of high hp slowly as you learn how things work and when you get good at it you can either get another used engine or build an engine specifically for what you want. http://forums.maxima.org/supercharge...potential.html

I prefer TQ and HP. Afterall, HP is a function of TQ.

I'm runnin' a really small pulley, and have tons of torque. I have mad torque steer, even in third gear. I can chirp 3rd gear. TQ isn't my problem, traction is.

Oh wow!!! Well thanks to everyone for all of the votes and helpful info. I plan on looking up costs for engine rebuilds at local shops and i will check out how RMTs work.

Just checking back in. I will be building the 3.5 and boosting it and I will get the 6spd while I'm at it
