    Here's the deal.
    Option A:
    Intercooler, S2 Fullsize, 700 shipped includes modded rails and LIM
    Welded Pace****ters - 250 shipped
    LS6 Springs - $50 brand new
    VS Cam - Still waiting for a used one to pop up

    Option B:
    1800 shipped for a complete Z7 turbo kit

    I want to go fast, but I also want/need a reliable DD, and I've heard turbo setups have a pretty high failure rate. Help me make up my mind guys.

    ^^That.

    Get the headers...they'd be a great step up from where your at without breaking the bank...and might allow for a little more bump in timing or a one size smaller pulley

    That's what I was thinking. I would love a turbo, but for now this car still needs to be a reliable DD.

    With the turbo, don't forget to include the cost of a transmission.
