What should I get

What should I get

Just interested in your opinions....I'm planning on hitting the shows this year. I'm waiting for my VIS carbon fiber hood to come in. I'm just stuck on what I should get first. It's either I go w/ the supercharger and the SAFC, or I go w/ the body kit from Molly Designs and install NOS (basically for show use only). What do you guys think? I'm kinda stuck...I wish I could do it all by this year, but my funds can only go one or the other. I just got a partial sponsorship from a shop out here and I need to decide before the shows come into town. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

if its for a show, go w/ the kit and nos. if it was me, i'd go w/ the supercharger. but since it is a show, im sure people would enjoy seeing the kit better and just the fact that it has NOS would be cool too i guess, and i bet every other solara at the show is gonna have a supercharger

Forget about the ViS hood, the only hood thats arriving anytime soon is mine :-? Get your down payment back, get Showstoppers' hood in the meantime, and get the kit w/ nos :D

I would say get the kit and S-AFC.
Why waste $$ on un-safe NOS kit for our car?

true..i know that NOS messing up your cars. I have alot of friends lock up thier engines b/c they were just beating on it and spraying often. I know the dangers. I was going to do it just for show, but I'll probably end up getting the SAFC anyways. I can get it at a cheap cost through my buddy that owns a shop and is sponsoring me for the shows. Oh yea, by the way, thanks for all of you inputs...it really helps me decide on what im going to choose.

It's called a prep 4 SC. :D
I would believe one day he will put the SC.

For a show, you need a performance upgrade like
SC, Turbo, eng. swap or NOS at min. o/w you won't have a chance to win.

Another advice, why don't you powder coat the engine?
