You can dump tons of money into a NA, and it'll still be pretty slow (ask me how I know 
). Granted "NAWS" will help you gain some hp, but turbos are SO much more fun.
And remember...
"Ametures don't use nitrous oxide! I've seen the way you drive, you have a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces!"

aquamist makes a water injection kit, I plan on running that this summer. I don't know why you would use it w/ nitrous tho, I mean nitrous will cool the air intake mix greater than water injection. Water injection is usually used on turbocharged engines to cool the intake charge, to prevent detonation, n/a(s) don't have that problem...

I can't belielve you lost to an elclipse even a turbo model, it must have been built or your car is slow, my '79 with a stock '86 engine outran a slightly modified awd eclipse with turbo; he got me off the line but once we got moving I caught and passed him.
odd...
