Default Future plans

Just throwing the idea and you thoughts and opionions would be great.

Long story short i sold my 88 hatch bought a 98 camaro, then traded that for my now 01 bolton gt. Now that life is going great with good money coming in im planing on buying and modding a coupe soon. To those who know me, How yall been? I got married and bought a house since last on!...yeah i know lol

Ok heres the deal. Im going to be looking for a clean coupe here soon. Not going to be looking for anything extreme just a low motor modded car, if not stock motor. I hope to find on with a nice suspension setup and 5 lug swap already.

So im going to be doing the on3performance single turbo kit.(opinions) and seeing what kind of power and how long the drivetrain will last. After that will be a 351 based motor, tko600????and 9inch(more than likely will just build the 8.8)

Lol yeah i got a 351 roller block from a transit van with 55k miles on it in the hanger. As far as the tko600 my dad has one in hes 427 stroker 68. The trans hold up fine but they seem to have a problem with blocking you going into 3rd on a high rpm shift, so idk. They do have an upgrade to adress that problem.

Im really super excited to get into forced induction. And the sound of a turbo spooling is mouth watering lol
