I talked to Nitrous Outlet and they recommended stoping at a 150 shot. They said anymore and you should do a stand alone fuel system and upgrade your internals.

Hey goofballs...I want some off topic input...
Daily driver...Subaru wrx, Acura tsx, or jeep wrangler Sahara (4dr)?
I bike ride...road and mtb...so racks will be on cars. I have had a STI...loved the car. Acura makes awesome dailys. Jeep is awesome. My fear is the money pit. I want the camaro to be my toy fund focus.
Acura will get wheels and a drop (3k)...that's it. Got a hook up on wrx stuff so I may be out 2-3k tops. Jeep...scares me...I think I could do a 2.5 lift and some 35s and be good. Lol. Opinions?
I don't do 'stock'

Id say either the WRX or the Jeep. But I'd lean more toward the Jeep, just for the biking part. You might be able to get to better places with the 4wd lifted jeep than the others. I'm actually looking for a new dd also. But I looking into an old 73-87 Chevy truck.

I'd get a jeep. Seeing a subaru with bikes on it makes me think hippy. Plus you already have a fast car. I'd get a different flavor.

Jeep. Totally different beast than what you have now. It'd be nice for a change up.

I would do the jeep. It gives you an alternative in bad weather. The others are low to the ground, and in AR where im sure it rains a bit and snows some.

Plus you wouldnt look as funny with bike racks on it lol.

subaloosers and glorified honda's I mean acuras with racks look weird to me. With a jeep and racks you get to show off your "MAN card" carrying swag lol

Jeep will get you more place. Acuras look kinda cool to me...I wouldn't mind having one. The Subaru WRX will give you some decent performance AND its good with traction and such. They are all good choices if you ask me. I'd say get whichever one you can find a better deal.

I'm in the market for an SUV/Truck just for the winter months...tired of getting stuck in snow. I'm thinking wither F-150, Jeep Cherokee, or whatever cheap one I can find that works, lol!!

I don't know how hilly it is in LR, but in the northwest corner the roads can get pretty bad. AWD helps exactly none when you're high-centered!

I had a sti...did donuts down here in the one or two snowfalls we ever get. We just had one. The subies rock out in snow. Rain...man, give me a subaru awd (I had a sti, my wife had a legacy, my dad has a forrester..complete with lesbian following) and watch how fast you can go in the rain safely. Heck I had my STI at 85-90mph in a FL deluge one year leaving Daytona Beach with NT505s on the car. Thing was nuts.
The wrx just got cheaper. So I narrowed to Jeep or WRX. 25k vs 36k is a big decision.
