Need advice on project 02transam
Ok...well i recently just bought a 02 trans am (maroon) and want to fix it up. Im not sure of what i would like to do to it by going either with a supercharger, turbocharger, or just bolt ons. I spoke to a friend who loves to do this stuff and says to go bolt ons since it's cheaper and will give the defenite hp im lookin to get. Hes saying it should be no more then 4k and i allready own long tubes. I was thinking on going with the stealth cam that mti..has to offer...and i was wondering is this cam worth the buy? And how much would it be to go forged pistons and rods? Please anything would be great and i do like different advice since that would help out alot. Thanks

The stealth cam is fairly small compared to others that alot of guys are running. A good bolt-on car can get you into the 11s. A buddy of mine is about to crack the 10s with a bolt-on car and a dry nitrous kit on the stock 10 bolt rearend. Is the car a M6 or auto? If it's an auto, a stall converter would be a great investment. I'd go 3000 or larger depending on what cam you pick. A good forged bottom end is going to knock a decent dent out of the 4k. Nitrous is cheap HP as another alternative.
