Default ebay hot parts kit

Planning on giving the camaro to my wife and getting a vet. She wants me to either buy and install a cam heads package which will also include exhaust, stall etc or to turbo the car. I decided I want to piece together a kit but with good turbo, blov, etc. Besides the drivers side header bolt hole issue how are the hot parts holding up? I like the hot parts front mount setup and I like the fact of piecing together a kit which will also help me learn more about F.I. She likes the whooosh sound too.

what's the problem with the header hole issue. Does it just need to be drilled out more cause it wont let you mount it or the whole header placement is off?

I'm not sure but from what I've read the holes are off. No big deal I'm sure.

All the crap-bay kits require a lot of piece together and fab work, so you have a challenge ahead. Personally I would do a nice H/C package and buy a crap-bay electric blow off noise generator if she likes the 'whooosh sound'.

Its not the best but there have been alot of people that have had success with the kit. I have considered it but in the end I have decided to fab my own up for the fact I love to work on the car.

Honestly, the f body single turbo kit from ohio forced indutions is the one I am considering. It is clean and simple and looks awesome. Here is a link Kits starts off at 6,999.00 and is fully upgradable right through the site.

Mine seems to be holding up fine.

If I had the money, I would have gone with a procharger =).

Once you start messing with exhaust pipes, vband clamps, oil returns, it can get messy.
