    Right now i have:
    2006 GT
    1.9 Rockers
    Headers
    open cone
    180 t-stat
    3.4 pulley
    Custom tune
    colder plugs

    There is no knock and runs good now my question is should i add:
    Full size IC
    3 inch exhaust
    3.25 pulley
    60 injectors

    or do i go with Z7 turbo:
    Plog
    1.9 rockers
    3 inch exhaust
    60 injectors
    and the other supporting mods

    What will be overall more fun and a safer setup both will have a built tranny. Thanks for any input!

    basically its a DD, and i want to be able to have the speed there. Consistent 12's would be nice. As far as the tranny goes its all ready to go just need to put it in!

    Turbos can make stupid amounts of power and still be a good dd. When you hit 12's you will be breaking stuff alot.

    Turbos are great for a car your going to race all the time, and can make insane amounts of powah, but for a dd i would stay sc...when you ic and pulley down that will be your fix for a while anyway lol..plus there's nothing like that whine

    Wait a minute...

    You're confusing the hell outta me here...

    http://www.grandprixforums.net/bad-k...ing-37189.html

    Here you claimed to have the Z7 kit.

    And on OQCGP you were demodding and sold your MPS. ( I wanted it... )

    Unless you have multiple 3800 cars lol

    Hahah, ya right now I have a 2000 turboed that does not run proper. Then I have a 2006 SC with the mods listed.
    So if it was going to be worth the turbo I was going to build the 2006 properly with the supporting mods and go from there. But if I'm sticking with the SC ill throw the IC on it and drop the pulley then sell the turbo. No need for 2 of em lol

    ok, well the tranny i have will more then likely hold up. Its built decently. Then i will get stage 2 axles, and half shafts?

    As far as the Turbo or SC goes. It is pretty easy to throw an IC on there and drop to a 3-3.25 pulley but will that get me into 12's? I dont need a car where im constantly having to put more money into because things are breaking and what not so the insane amount of power from the turbo isnt going to be used.

    axles are half shafts on these. intercooler and a a good drive should net you 12s with a good tune.
