Hello,

I have accepted my first real job as an engineer for Honda R&D in Raymond OH. I am very seriously considering going forced induction. I will finally have the funds to be able to safely say, "I can afford to put away this much money for Twins or the new RJM Performance Supercharger". But people say that you should ride in both and experience both. And there is still a significant price gap between the two systems. I have been reading a lot of forum posts about people who have done the Stillen S/C and who have done turbos instead. I understand the fact that if someone is going to be power hungry that a S/C just won't do. I haven't really driven all that many 400+ WHP vehicles so I can't really say for sure where I will be satisfied. But I also daily my Z so I don't exactly want something that becomes a vehicle that I can't just sit down and drive. (it would be either start saving for a daily and then start saving for FI or make sure my daily stays my daily).

I have always wanted a turbo car but I love the whine of the Terminator Cobra's supercharger, because it gives just as much emotion and awesomeness from that sound as well. I don't think that I am really interested horsepower wars over getting X WHP. Kind of thinking the RJM kit that is up for preorder might be that perfect middle ground.

TLDR: Anyone living near Columbus OH who would be interested in letting me ride along in their boosted Z in the next few months? Or after winter, really I won't be financially able to pull the trigger until a while into my actual employment. Just trying to get all the ducks in a row.
