go turbo you want regret it. www.on3performance.com has a kit they are about to release for the 3v you could do that and a short block and come out real good with some very good power.

no the 4:10's are not good with turbo. it takes it longer to spool up go with 3:73's at most or even better stay stock. you will run better times with the stock or 3:73's then you ever will with the 4:10's

Did you mention what you want to do with all this new power...do you have rwhp goals (nice pretty dyno sheet and ooooo aaaaaa numbers) or ET goals at the strip? Power goals are cheaper and easier to achieve. ET goals are much harder and more expensive.

You just need to sit down and figure out what your "over all goal" is for your car. Once you figure that out you will be able to pick the parts you need to make it happen. If your planning on going with big power then like others have said, "build your lower end first". Lots of good S/C's out and good Turbo's too but, you need to figure out "how" you want your power to be applyed for the type of driving you do. TC & Centy's apply power diffrantly so do your research first, and then pick the one you want.

the only way i would advise you to go turbo is if you plan on building your bottom end. other wise i would go with a paxton 2200 H.O kit stage2 nsr comp cams and jba long tube headers with non catted h-pipe and spend the money on a good reputable tuner with the above mentioned mods and a good tune you would be at around 480+ rwhp. if you dont have the intention on doing a built motor i would personaly stay under the 500 rwhp mark oh and with the left over money i would do an eibach anti roll kit which consist of a front and rear heavy duty sway bar and an udjustable panhard bar. and youd still have some cash left for a nice set of wheels and tires

SLA front suspension from Agent 47
LCA's UCA PHB 4.10's Detroit Locker
Turbo or Procharger or Kenne Bell
Some fat rear tires and nice fronts to put all the power to the ground.
Call it a day~
Or do what I would do
4.10's and Kenne Bell, the rest would go into the bank!

what makes you say "the only way i would advise you to go turbo is if you plan on building your bottom end." that is not true at all, where did you pull that from.
