yea no need to upgrade the heads with the stock shortblock, its easier to just turn up the boost.

thats pretty good. I just started looking at an sts turbo kit and it fits into my budget, i just dont want to rip the turbo off of my car when i hit a speed bump. I am looking for the easiest route possible and so far your set up looks to be the best option

Yea i mean there was alot of fabrication involved, but its different and it works so im happy with the setup. Just waiting now for the track to open back up so i can have some numbers to back the setup up, hopin for a low 12 high 11.

put a set of drag radials on it and you might run a low 11 or high 10.
I am setting my car up to handle good, and occasonally autocross
