Nitrous has less plumbing then turbos and takes up less space, plus if I want to drive it on the street the turbo piping will need to be set up for a passenger. Kevin

Most grudge racers get scared off by forced induction. When you're bracket racing, you can just run it on motor or put a small tune in it.
