once my warranty is up i had originally thought bout going turbo....only thing holding that up is the $5K price tag....after thinking about it some more i am leaning more towards spraying the car.....and yes the trans will be built because i know the stocker will blow...plan on goin with 3.29's and getting TEP to do it since they arent to far from me..i also have rockers and lifters in my basement waiting to be put on....car will be dyno tuned also.....so what do you all think....75-100 wet shot or turbo?

turbo for sure, the power will always be there then, not just when you push a button, and the turbo wont be gone after a few uses

100 shot.

turbo, buy the starter kit its under 4grand for 5psi of boost and over 350whp

Put a 100 shot and a ls1 intake and walk on the stock bottom end turbo cars

$4k is still a little steap

sent ya a pm.....any idea what kinda numbers the ls1 and 100 shot would give me at the wheel?

2005gxp

would guess 340-360whp depending on what other mods and tuning is done

plans would be ported exhaust manifolds and TB...have a CAI and magnaflow exhaust with cutout on 3'' DP.....1.8 crane rockers and LS6 springs...dyno tune by vector....trans with 3.29's and possibly a little higher stall.

Not on these FWD.

I'd say do a 100 shot with an intake, if you don't like it sell the nitrous then turbo.

imo, nitrus is nobody's friend.

Nitrous is perfectly safe, you just have to set it up right. Internet horror stories and 1970s technology just doesn't apply anymore.

Quoted for truth.

You've got to be a retard to blow your motor now with a modern system.

A TEP transmission with upgrades (300mm input shaft, 7/8 chain, 3.29s and an upgraded TC) is going to run over 3000.00 plus the install. So a turbo/transmission setup is going to run in the neighborhood of 10K.

Yup. Quality window switch, valve body, shift kit and cooler combined with a good tune should get you where you need to go. Just wouldn't run it on a tire too much...

I wouldn't run the bottle on a drag radial unless you weren't spraying in 1st, or maybe just the top of first (but with 3.29s I would lock it out completely). If you're doing the LS1/6 intake you could run a plate kit. I'd look for an LS1 plate, short lines, solendoids, a timing twister and a controller (like HSW) that allows you to lock out the bottle by gear and RPM, a long line, purge solenoid, bottle, gauge, and bottle heater.
