Smack talk here is like kindergarten compared to Pirate4x4! research, research research then research some more. then after you've dumped atleast $2500 on parts which would probably be near the minimum fot turbo, piping, fuel system, etc... Then start asking questions.

Sorry man but im to afraid to spray her... aluminum blocks just arent bullet proof like LT1s. i originally planned on getting a 50-150 shot kit and ZEX dual purge kit to pull up to civics and steam some rice but i just read to many horror stories about what nos can do to an LS1 :/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sorry about that everyone. miller is right! If you do it the right way with experience..it is great boost! i guess im just jealous because i dont know how to make it all happen so my engine doesnt blow up... teach me?
