ORIGINAL: Quik
do a JYTT and you can do it for around 1500 bucks and 11s with a stock motor.
Try more like $900 for a pretty good setup, $600 if you want to do the bottom of the line kit.

& I must say tw3ak, you have THE nicest looking fox body I have ever seen in my entire life, not one of the nicest, you hit the #1 spot. What type of blue is that?
Any way you can take a bigger picture that I could use for my background? (1024x768)

Thanx ! Im glad you like the color. When i picked it out ... all I had to choose from was little squares. I wanted a nice blue with a tint of purple. Its actually real purplish. It all depends on the lighting. The color I belive is from a 95 Nissan truck. The color is called "brit saphire matallic pearl" or some crap ......see how purple it looks sometimes. alll depends on the light.

Wow, I love it. thanks for the info man. I'm going to go for that color & two white racing stripes when I get some money.

Can you weld/cut metal? or do you know any friends that can? If you can find someone that can do that you'll cut a BIG chunk out of the price. I estimated the TT kit for my '96 2.5L V6 Probe GT was going to run around $550 for all the parts & shipping, but I planned on making the headers myself, because the exhaust ports are close together on each bank. However on the 5.0 the ports are spread out quite a bit more & have an extra port so I would cause more hotspots with the design I was going to use for the PGT. Maximum performance was not in mind when I was designing the headers since space was limited. With the 5.0, a really good design uses unequal shorty headers flipped upside down with a little bit of fabrication. So the hardest part of turbo fabricating would already be taken care of for you.
