The turbo deal will be a hassle at first, but if you street drive alot, I think its worth it.
thats the other thing about 3.55's is it would be better for the C4 anyway.


not really a street car....... not really a drag car....


its more of a weekend warrior. beat the snot out of it for my jollys, and hit the track once a month.

the main thing that keeps it a "street" car is that emission laws have gotten stricter in the last two years here. so it has to pass emissions, or I have to put a tag on it from florida (where my family is, my mom is the boss lady at the tag office, and can get me a tag with ease.)

If it came to it, thats what I could do, but it would only be a matter of time before I was pulled over and ticketed.

turbo + TKO 600 = sex....

that would be the way id go, and as long as you PROPERLY (very few people actually do) install a TKO they shift fine.

you wont be going over ~6200 anyways so it doesnt really matter

I installed mine just fine and it still didn't shift worth a crap. It shifted great when I had a stock motor.

turbos will keep the power going with a automatic. with a manual you can have the boost drop off between shifts.
