Yeah. I kicked those around as well. Springs, no matter what you choose are a matter of debate.

Yeah. That was one of the reasons I didn't go with the 130s. What kinda sucks is I'll have about $700 in just my gauges and pod. aeroforce $230. Wideband $250. electronic fuel pressure gauge $100. Pod $60 and a mechanical boost gauge $50.00 I know the aeroforce has a electrical boost/vacume gauge but I wanted a mechanical tapped into the vacume line. One thing I learned about these cars is no matter how much modding one does, you better know how your car is running by more then just feel. Right now I'm only running about 6lbs of boost with my stock 3.8 pulley. I was running almost 12lbs on my 2000gtp with a 3.25. The guy building my motor says we should be able to tune as small as a 3.0 with this setup and alky. so I bought a 3.25,3.1 and a 2.9. We shall see...........Todd

I'm like all you guys when it comes to making our car faster. We all look at the price of things and how much it will cost in the end. I had somewhere around $2500 in my first build on my 2000gtp. It ran low 13teens and I was happy with that. Now that I started over on a 04 I wanted to do things differently. My first thoughts was a turbo that can run 11s. But after considering the new tranny involved and all the other things needed for that build I decided to try to get the most out of both worlds. In order to get the most out of our SC. we need to change cams. So thats what I'm doing. But what I'm adding to that is a build that will take the boost of a turbo 20+ lbs on a regular basis. and also the low end grunt of a sc. Now what I am lacking is a tranny that will hold this all together. I will add a race tranny when this one craps out. I don't plan on running drs or slicks but I do plan on running in the 12s with this setup. Then if the tranny does go later on down the road it will be a bolt on turbo kit with a new zzp tranny and then I will be running in the 11s.

I will defently be looking for tranny man sometime down the road. For now I have a old beater that I'm driving back and fourth to work so that is saving alot of wear and tear on my gtp. Troy your right even after a turbo build and tranny build most guys keep breaking alot of stuff with there turbo builds. Alot of guys end up selling all there turbo build stuff for one of two reasons. #1 they can't get it to run right or# 2 They do get it to run right and they keep breaking things. It can get real expensive.
