Default turbo the z or finish the honda

ok im having a internal battle on which to go with...i have my z and i have a integra with a jdm from end and ive been building it for a while...i was looking to keep the z stock for everyday driving and finish my honda so that would be my weekend warrior but its really expensive to get a car to do 11 or 10s which the honda will be when im done...the only problem i have with the z is that i raced a turbo z and ghosted it with a stock block and head with a turbo kit and a tune (maybe cause my car is so light it did 308 on a mustang dyno) but now i want more speed and im affraid the z wont be enough im almost done with the build on the honda and it will be good for like 600hp on a 2200 lbs car.....so what do you guys think?

So you're claiming that you stock 350 is faster than a turboed 350? Where's that flag icon?

I'd sell the honda.

just build the car you really want to.. any car can be made to go fast with enough $$.. if you are almost done with the honda, then go with that

If your building a honda you should know what little horses you need to move those cars...

If you claim you got 305... that is alot... I know honda's and love the little you need to speed...

I say you need to sell the Z. Use the money to put into the honda, and buy a beater honda for day to day.

I'm a bit confused from your post, but it sounds like you like how the Integra is coming along and can use that car for weekend fun (just don't be an idiot and street race). The Z should serve well as a DD. It is paid for and will be reliable. If you try to go FI on the Z it will be very expensive and you will lose reliability. Once you get the Integra done and you want to move on, then look to buy another car to mod. I'd look to find a salvage title car you can pick up cheap if you want to do that.

Forget about the turbo on the Z. That's all.

Personally, i would recommend using a period (.) somewhere in your posts to end a sentence and not make them run on longer so they can actually be understood.

But thats just me.
