if you are only going to run low boost you might want to look into the STS turbo. You should read the stickies in the forced induction section.

build your engine up instead, h/c/i will be less $ and u will have room to grow.

LMAO. Couldn't have said it better. Just hit 70,000 miles on my car. Do I care. No because I probably won't ever sell it. In a couple years it will just be a play car though.

It's still a good one though. It's a six speed hence the, "hurst short throw".

yeah, its still a pretty fresh motor. Bought it brand new and only drive it a couple times a month. When i go out, im ususally with the mrs.., and she doesnt like the TA. We got a cadillac CTS-V which is what usually gets driven. Got that last year.
But i want my TA to finally be over the 400 rwhp mark. Nothing tooo tooo dramatic, just enough power to beat some of the terminator cobras rolling around!! Yeah i'm 60, but that doesn't mean that i dont got game, haha!
