Put a small turbo, surely will go like crazy on low rpm -- then what do you do beyond 5500 rpm?
Honda can go as much as 9,000 -- the small turbo become your nemesis & restrictor.
Go big - late power but will go crazy in high rpm - You can't get two things at the same time -- either or...

I see your point but big, crazy power is not what I'm after. I guess you can think of me as the guy who doesn't have any place to VTEC.
What sparked my question is that I got a warning from a cop for "demonstration of speed" going from 2nd to third so going roughly 60+ mph. I wasn't going too fast but I guess the sound got his attention. I don't think he had any real legal ground to stand on but its just a hassle.
Personally I have no qualms about the s2k. I'd VTEC it everywhere but I'm just wondering (that's all) if there's a possible way to be more incognito while having fun within normal constraints. And I got great responses so thank you all.

lol sorry if it felt like we were ragging on you. You would be right if the superchargers for our car were roots type, like the SOT supercharger, but 99% of them out there are centrifugal, so I'm sure you know why it wouldn't be what he's looking for.
