First you want to let us and yourself know how much power you want to run, then you want to know how much you want to spend.

Alot of power is not accurate enough, tell me something like 400whp.

Good luck turboing your car and doing skunk internals for 3 grand. My kit cost that much pieced together and I originally planned on $1600.

Fast, reliable, cheap: pick two
