Default Shaft or BB

On a car that is 70/30 ( street/strip ) what would be better a shaft unit or BB unit Turbo. Is there really a huge difference in spool up time? I am going to also use the water cooled option because I live in Tampa, Fl and in the summer time it can get very hot and humid.

In general the ball bearing units have all around better performance and longevity. Unless price is a HUGE issue there's not really a reason to not go ball bearing...

Yep, I see no reason to NOT go with a ball bearing unit.
