    NA or Turbo

    What would you rather do turbo or keep it natural aspirated I know trying to buil horsepower from a dx is like pulling teeth and I personally think the LX is more race worthy than the DX In my opinion I dont think I have a choice but to turbo my car but it would be cool to build a 125hp 7000 rpm lx
    to nearly 200hp at 8000 rpm or higher what do ya'll think?

    This is up to you to decide. Building up an n/a motor seems to be more challanging. In the long run, you'll be paying much more for a 200hp n/a BP than a 200hp turbo BP.

    Here's a very informative thread that you might find interesting:

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height
