I cant believe posts like this still come up, SR vs RB vs KAT vs CA in the end its up to your budget/choice/availability.

Search button FTWno really, you can find pretty much every answer to this by searching.

but yeah if you wanna be hardcore like the drift factories old car get yourself a RB26 and tell people about your mad JDMTYTE drift skills when in fact your just powering over nonstop. not that everyone does this but... DF... yeah

Do some research on all your choices then make the choice that best suits your needs. Personally I like the ka-t, cheaper,lots of torque, lots of parts availability.But there are thousands here that will say SR's are best, or RB's. If you search and get all your info, then you can make the right choice for what you want from your ride.

Hey Logan. I'd like to chime in that at least of the RB25's I know of, all of the SR20DET's (except mine ) are faster and so far cheaper. Granted the RB will far excel the SR in the post 400whp range but in my opinion for 450 or less the SR is the way to go. I see you are from Berdoo Doo. Always good to see another member from there. I'm from Berdoo originally and I went to Cajon High. Your name sounds familiar. Know a Ryon? That's me
