93 Z28 M6 With STS? Quick Question... Hey guys, I have been a long time reader, first time poster here, and had a question or two for you guru's. It may have been asked before, but I tried searching with no results. I recently bought a 93 Z28, M6. The guy I bought it from said it has a "mild cam" and some suspension work. It runs strong, but I have no documentation on what he has done. It looks untampered with to be honest. It has just under 100K miles on the odometer, and other work that has been done is unknown. I have been wondering if getting an STS turbo kit for it would be a good mod for it. I got the car cheap and can justify the cost of the kit. My real question is this: If I get the kit and have it installed is there any way I can do something to make it sound meaner? I heard one in person, and quite frankly, Im not that impressed with the tone of it. Im used to hearing that mean tone that LT1's with exhaust can produce. Am I stuck with that petty tone of the STS or is there something I can do? I dont know if a cutout is an option, due to the turbo needing exhaust.
Im sorry for such a long post, I know it can be annoying reading through that much wording for a simple question, lol.

I want to invest about $4000.00 at first to just get the car a little more love under the hood . I dont want a full blown race car or anything, lol. I never really thought about heads and cam, I thought that would be much more work involved, I assume, maybe having to buy new injectors and pump too?

Now I feel like a real idiot, LOL. I should have caught onto that.. I will be definitely looking into H/C packages now. Then I just browsed over this site and found an APS Twin turbo kit, but I think I would hurt the motor with something like that... But, on the bright side, I can put any exhaust I would want on it
