i will soon have $5,000...

3.5 mdx block conversion or
comptech supercharger....
i have sorta looked into both, and as far as i know, they both cost right around 5 grand, and they both give you about the same amount of horsepower
70 to the wheels
keep in mind, i will eventually do both, and i really, really, really, wanna keep my nitrous....
what to do?

silver 2003 type s
zex nitrous kit
aem cold air
5% tint
** panasonic 7200 monitor, paid in full, waiting for shipment**
** $3,000 secret mod already paid for, waiting for install**

Good plan... but don't forget, you need to save some $$$ to beef up your tranny as well.

Cheers !!!

I would do the 3.5 conversion and if still lacking, add the NOX.

I'd rather have a supercharger.

Or have forged pistons, rods, ss valves etc. done instead of factory internals.

Thats just me.

I would go with 3.5 block conversion... friend of mine with a turbo charged civic si recently got rid of his turbo and did a CRV block conversion... he loves it... no turbo lag and great power distribution thro broad range of RPM....

GET RID OF YOUR NOS!
that sh!t will rot your engine.... it will kill ur engine fast... speaking from experience on previous vehicles.... after a year with NOS the inside of engine will look like somebody's colon with chronic constipation.... sh!t just looks nasty.... :yack:

I like the old saying, "there is nothing like cubic inches." Or in this case, liters. I'd go with the 3.5 and if you wanted to go nuts, put an S/C on it. Of course, you'd be pushing it around because of no tranny. But just think of the possibilities

Did you mean "No Replacement for Displacement"?

LOL

I would do the MDX 3.5L conversion. You will be able to keep you NOS, and if you choose later, you can get forced induction.
