im not sure if there are any smog laws in georgia, but if i were you i would save it a little more and twin turbo that baby! not only would you add a ****loada HP and TQ but itd sound godly! im not sure ur mods so far, but youd be much more satified with a Twin Turbo or Supercharger, then little things like driveshaft, pullies, gears, headers, heads, cams... etc... well heads and cams arnt small but you get my point

You can probably get and SC in for that much but depends on what you wanna do?

I would personally put half to power adders and rest to suspension bits.

If he wanted to go TT, he'd need probably twice that much money unless he can build the kit himself (if he's asking, I doubt he can). The Vortech V3 is probably going to be your best bang for the buck. It'll have you putting down 400/400 at the wheels for under $4K and give you the ability to add an intercooler among other things down the line to get more power.

I only know of two TT kits for our cars, the STS kit and the Turbo by Garrett kit. The STS usually sells for at least $7K and all of the Garrett kits I've seen have been going for around $10K. If you can find a complete TT kit for $5K, please post it up.

If your strictly thinking about just a power mod, than the Vortech V3 kit will be your best option for under 4k (not counting installation).

I would be scroungin up another grand and taking a few days off and driving to Brenspeed.

I/We, have a 23 hour drive or so. ONE WAY! but I think you with all the credits, you end up paying something like $5off the showing price total. With install....

at warranty time, its OVER! LOL
