turbo. Its free horsepower. quiets the car down and is vastly more tunable. as u can set up the boost controler and have a select a tune so u can drive it on lower boost on pump gas yet have a tune for race gas to select and crankl the boost and go play with the big boys

BTW i have a hot side kit for a 302 based fox body I would sell if ya needed it. Also a 93 has hyperutectic pistons which u will need to change

turbo all the way. unless you really wanna save money and just put a nice plate kit on it or somethin for that all bottle quick hp.

but you know what they say, cars with nitrous are like old men with viagra... once the bottle is gone, they arent good for shit! turbo ftw

+10 on the turbo, if I had it to do over again, there wouldnt be an S trim under my hood. Well, if I find a buyer for my S trim and BBK LT's, I am switching over to a turbo. Something in the range of a T-72+....
