I'm starting to watch the FI game much more closely than before, I felt like the car had more power than I could take advantage of (which is proven every time a quick driver hops in and blows my times out of the water) but am realizing that there will come a day when I definitively want more.

For me, if I wanted a car that could beat this car or that car, the 86 is not the answer (the answer is a V8 Miata btw). I love this discussion about which kit has the reliability, if the Cosworth proves to be worth the premium hopefully I'll be able to pick it up. In the meantime we're coming up on 2 years of JRSC availability and my priorities are on a road legal kit that can take a beating.

~2 years ago if you asked most of the people here whether they would feel safe supercharging an FA20 without any internal modifications (remember a 12.5:1 compression ratio) putting 300hp at the crank even with a low boost of 9psi the answer would likely have been an overwhelming NO.
