I won't argue that a Turbo has a lot of benefits. But there are always going to be tradeoffs on both sides of the fence. Is the Incon kit smog legal? I know the Procharger is.

Don't believe everything you read in magazines, who knows what hidden things that just happen to have left out of their article. They sure didn't get a blown car in the 11's with stock 19 lb injectors, I can assure you of that. Plus, he said low 11's - high 10's. Just a procharger isn't going to accomplish that feat. He will need heads, cam, etc. to go along with it. Incon is out of business I believe, but there are several more companies besides Incon that make turbo kits, like Turbo Technology & Cartech. Both make smog legal kits. Plus, unless your going to be running mid 10's or lower, the stock cam is unbeatable for a turbo car. Thus keeping driveability and making it alot easier to pass emissions. Sorry, you can't go that fast on the stock cam with a supercharger.
