Greg, what kind of power are you running now?

The famed Disco turbo is good for 300whp about and makes the s13 a 12sec car. Plenty of power to keep up with a 350"ish" supercharged BMW. And it is not laggy at all. The HP on the BMW would likely be ideal for autocrossing. Not to much tq down low but a good steady pull thru the top. Turbo would hit harder and faster. Not as good in some ways. The weight of the S13 should be much better for handling.
