    Ok, so a good friend of mine has a 2001 firebird v6,
    And basically what we've been wanting to know, how in depth of project would it be to do a top swap from ZZP on his car. I understand the placement of the throttle body and such, I just want to know how possible of job this could be. Or would turboing it be any better or easier?

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    it's a good start, gave me some ideas but i need to further my research to see if it'll be even worth the effort or not.

    Yeah I cant find the thread he put up here, but here he is on another site...1999 Firebird with M90 conversion - FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com Message Board


    And I REALLY hate to be "that guy", so please don't get upset about this. For the cost, I would just assume get an LT1, or LS1. Seems like allot of work/money for not allot of power.

    even for the cost of a turbo you could get a new GM LS motor with a 2 year warranty.
