Default Your thoughts

Currenlty installed on my 02 SS is a Yank SS3600 stalled converter, SLP box, catback, ls6 intake, aluminum drive line and 3.23 gears. My question is this. Since winter is approaching its time for some upgrades. With that said, I've been looking at some turbo kits...this is the route I want to go. But if I don't, I want to do this in the near future. So my question is this, should I start on some suspension or motor work? I don't really want to do LT's and cat back or H/C combo...want to boost the car. Or should I just suck it up and do the turbo kit? I have about $3500 I can spend, so I am just trying to figure out what upgrade would be the best to do. Any ideas appreciated.


Thanks.

Do you have sfc's or suspension upgrades. Not as fun but you might want to do that stuff first. Just a thought.

I can't believe you haven't had a hundred people chime in to help spend your money :-)

All I can recommend is look at your long term goals. When the car is boosted will you need a fuel pump, injectors, stronger rear, torque arm, lca's, etc? Just be careful to put the supporting mods in BEFORE the boost and big hp.

If your goal is to have a turbo, ask somebody who has a turbo and see what it required. Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more help!
