That would be SICK on your car Tony! 
The Hinson kit looks Nice! I remember when Cerra sold that kit! BlackSun and Z06Gman on their cars and they ran well! I wasn't very impressed with the log manifolds, but they worked!
Earl H had one too that he reworked with a T76 turbo that put down over 700 rwhp! They can make some BIG powa!
Here's a site with some Cerra pics! Thanks Jake!

you can lower the piping but then you will need a new downpipe. among other things...
your only clearancing the hood for the compressor side. the turbine housing doesnt come that close to the hood but it doesnt realy matter because you would normally put a blanket over it.
the placement of the turbo causes clearance issues if you wanted to go bigger as well as the 3inch downpipe which limits turbo selections to the highest is T78 or the 78GTS. the next turbos inline get a big bigger in dimensional size and all require a much bigger downpipe such a a 3.5 or 4inch downpipe which then by the looks of some pics i have would be a bit of a squeeze to make it work. although i have been assured i will be able to get 800-900 hp to the wheels with the setup as it is already with a 78GTS. rest assured i will find the limits of this kit and put it to the test

I have coil overs so that will help a little with piping size. I'll need to do some research before I can tell what turbo to go with
.I have L92 Heads and LS3 intake with 90MM TB and Dr Phil turbo cam. Compression is 8.9 to 1.
I wonder what size turbo will get me into the 850 - 900 range ?
