just what ever it takes to do it right i can't stand for something to f*up..i've heard about if you turbo it causes alot of problems as far as driving it on a daily basis but as of right now just planning for the future thanks for answering my question
Just a little advice, try and get everything as close to new as you can and also buy from reputable people. It is a lot of fun and a LOT more heartache. I tried to piece together a turbo car one time and it was WAY more than I thought I was gonna get into.
Just get a good mani, turbo, and tune the **** out of it...
All the other **** can be second rate but plan on upgradeing it. Also don't forget things like clutch and axles. I would hate to see you with snapped axles and a slipping clutch, running 15's...
Good luck with the build and just remember to buildthis car wisely because the motor is not that cheap to replace!

Is this an auto or 5-speed? What are your power/ET goals? Without these goals we cant tell you what to get. Also stock axles are fine. I ran 650whp on stock axles. The trans will take a crap before the axles.

220-230? then why would u have to worry.. unless thats all the power goals u want NOW but in the FUTURE u want more then i would see a point in building. a decent greddy kit w/ fmic should not run more than 2700.
btw alota ppl do daily drive their S motors at 450whp 15 psi.

What do you mean how would the gas be at? If you are referring to octane, I run 460whp on 93 octane.

lol man i am looking to start a set up like yours, dont think i would baby it either with a turbo, but i do see it doing 31+ since the turbo will make it breath better.
