...but for me ANY gain is worth it since I am looking for 13's in the quarter mile.
well @ 14.3, your definitely closing in. good luck on your goal. same to you HopUP.
Thanks for the encouragement, but frankly my money is on Scott getting into the 13's before I do. He has more mods than me, and wait 'til he takes his new tunes to the track next time. Lookout Baby!

Don't put too much money on me Bill.

I look forward to September when I think both of us will be in the 13's.

Ok so I'm going to take a stab at this....

Imo I think the C&L with a good too will get you the most HP. Spark wires are maybe going to put you up 5 HP and thats a big maybe. Ur smart for going with the t-lok and gears...btw let me know where/how much thats gonna run u if u dont mind.

As far as the Cervinis kit you should be able to exchange out the H pipe for an X. They are the same length just different shapes. The mufflers from what i have seen are almost in a box type kinda like the new edge roush's.

A turbo however probably would interfere with your set up though because your already going to be dying for space but Im not 100% on that one. Only some turbos run behind the axle like your mentioning. Most however sit in the engine bay and they run a lot of piping. your thinkin of an STS turbo.

Throttle Bodies are useless on the V6...but that too is just my thought.

Thanks and I hope this works out for you. Good luck.....Maybe think about throwing a sypdershaft in there to handle all the new power...and a Stillen STS that way u can use those 3.73's to the fullest
so if i went with the cervinis bodykit the turbo would be a no go?

From what I see the Powerhouse Turbo goes only in the engine bay, so no clearance issues for the kit?

Yeah i think Mr. Bape is correct. I was going on the overal generalization of how "most" turbos run their piping.
