okay..i really like the jwt kit. but i have some concerns..for what i spend on the jwt kit i should almost spring for a turbo setup. i want my car to be quicker..but i don't want to spend thousands of dollars because i can't afford it..and i'll regret it. so i guess my question is..what type of setup is the best way to go. like a zex kit? it seems to be simple and cheap. i'm a conservative person and i want the install to be undetectable. any other recommendations? i also don't really plan on doing any other major mods in the near future. i'll probably get a newer car by the time i can afford half the stuff i dream of.

Bro I agree with you also about the JWT nitrous set-up. It is expensive but when you think about it its not. You can easily run a NOS kit, but you are somewhat restricted to the amount of spray with out buying other accesories. The cool thing about the JWT setup is that it basically is plug and play. I ran a NOS set-up for about 2 years with no problem. I was juicing a 50 shot and the car ran very well. With the 50 shot I left the car at stock timming (15 degrees) and it ran like a champ. I ran a 14.1 at 102mph on the 50 shot with I/H/E /MSD. Look into it. It all depends on what you prefer!! A NOS kit will run you around $400-$500 brand new. Compared to a turbo set-up you are going to save a shit load of cash!

Well have to agree the JWT setup is awesome, but I think you somewhat answered your own question. I would buy a NOS kit, add the heater/purge/few accessories and your good to go for 50-75 shot without upgrading. Besides you said you dont wanna go crazy, that'll keep you happy(hopefully) until you buy a new car.
