Oh well, let the learning begin. First of all, if money is no object, it's usually better to start with a B series motor, as they are stronger. Second, it's tough to beat a turbo, considering you can double your power pretty easily. The header design is just a matter of ease of installation, and if you have a turbo, you don't have a header, you have a turbo manifolt and a down pipe. Perhaps you don't fully grasp the concept of a turbo. A little reading never hurt anyone:

Turbo is the best bang for the buck
