[QUOTE="Nightmare302, post: 15512450, member: 14127"] Don't forget you can get a good chunk of change for your old SC parts. The big difference is the required suspension. Cheaping out on coil overs and K-member will leave you hating your car. I ran a hellion kit with the MM suspension on a stock longblock. It was honestly the most fun car I've ever owned. Sure my car is faster now but having the 6 speed and making 600-650rwhp safely and never worrying about the car starting was far and away the most fun ever. My twin screw car always felt violent. Driving it was a chore, getting on it always made me feel like it was trying to murder me and leave me in a ditch. The turbo car felt refined and just pulled and pulled. My suggestion, have a valve job done on your stock heads (inspect seats). Put some 98 Cobra cams in and degree them. (good for 20-40rwhp on a turbo setup). Run a Mach/Cobra intake (you will need alt, bracket, throttle cable and so on), a quality front mount intercooler, go with team z or MM suspension (decide if you want drag or street). The MM kit will only fit a custom kit or the hellion kits (you can find them used from time to time). Run a SINGLE turbo, it's simpler, cheaper and performs just as well when sized correctly and using a twin scroll housing. Your fuel system on pump will be fine. You will probably run 4-5k on top of selling off your old parts. [/QUOTE]
