Well its definitely worth it if youre going to 4.10's back down to 3.55's for turbo. I mean 3.55's wont show anything over stock...and 3.73's arent the ideal gear for turbos either. So I'd go 4.10's now and then when you build the rear later down the road put the 3.55's in when its closer to the turbo goin on.

Alright. It will take some time to get the money for everything.

Well, I think it's worth it, since it will probably be 2 yrs apart. 4.10s for now.

Since I do have a gt, I was thinking with my v6 I went for all looks...for my gt, I want to go mostly performance...eventually leading up to a rebuild+turbo and hitting around 600rwhp.

SO, ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR LTS AND MIDPIPE? BRAND? LINKS?

Well if your gonna eventually go for a turbo it would be a waste to get headers and gears cause your gonna need different manifolds and different gearing for the turbo. So my suggestion just keeping your future plans in mind i would say get a tubular k member and do some more suspension work for now and get everything setup for when you go for the turbo.

You could go with a set of shorty headers that will help when you go with the turbo kit(depending on which kit you go after). If youre going hellion, then get some shorty headers to use with that kit. if youre going with HP twins, you get turbo headers so just dont buy anything at all and do suspension like stated above.

i'd wait on the exhaust, alot can happen in 2 years. People have their opinions and i have to say the udp's and throttle body do make a difference, they did on my old car.
