i think if you got a plain jane turbo kit with stand alone & dyno time, you'd be really happy and fast.

...and a thicker head gasket. Stock B blocks are quite strong, ask around, you'll be impressed.......

i think 3200 is still expensive for what the drag kit comes with. if i paid 3200 i'd expect all top of the line parts. just a quick example of what you can buy...
turbo manifold $450 (drag 2, rev hard, maxrev)
60-1/t3 4 bolt $750
XS GTR intercooler $700
Tial 40mm $375
Tial Bov $175
walboro 255 hp $100
that's about $2550
you have about $650 left from the $3200 to take care of piping/fab/misc hardware, and you have way better parts.
you have about a grand to get something like a hondata, run some cheap DSM injectors, and get a norgen pressure regulator (from air compressors) $25, and you have a kick *** turbo system.
