| Welcome Louie and congratulations on finding a nice car for such littlee money. If you have the extra money go Turbo. Just my opinion. We need someone on this site with a turbo Riv. You can be the first here. It's been done before so you should be able to get some assistance by reading online, but remember there is nothing that just fits out of the box. That mod requires some ingenuity and fabrication.
There are others on here that can be more specific as to what it takes and can recommend what unit and misc. parts to buy. | |

Go to the tab at he top of the page "Board FAQ" and there is an explanation of the topic for almost any question you might have. Also look at how to add a signature to your profile. It is very helpful to us to know even just the basics of your car such as year and any modifications already done. | |

| If you have the money and want an adventure, go turbo! You're lucky to have a Series II motor because you have the option of dropping the pulley with a few mods, like rockers, cams, exhaust, etc. | |

| Long run I would have to say SC. Simply because its going to be much less expensive, and far less fabrication involved. You can still pull very, very good hp/tq numbers out of an SC 3.8L and enjoy the reliabilty of the supercharger. Just my opinion tho you do whatever blows your hair back!
What kind of audio system you running? I am kind of an audiophile myself so I can relate. | |
