Heath will be in a position to discuss the merits of different forced induction systems from his own personal experience - Powerdyne, ATI, and now turbos. Heath, I wish I had your energy! Best of luck on the turbo set-up .... and once you get it on, leave it on for a few months would you! I'm getting confused ....

From a dead stop with the engine loaded (i.e. from the tree)?
Just asking, thanks!

Ed - daily driver
Until the day I come accross a deal I can't pass up on a 12bolt the car will never see more than street tires. I will probably try to take it to the track once and expect mid 12's at 120+
Mike - This will be my final FI solution for the car. Stock cooling system, Nice quiet stock manifolds, quiet exhaust, all that and still having over 500rwhp. Can't imagine ever wanting to change that.
Only thing I expect to change is if and when the motor goes is a budget 9:1 rebuild and to crank it from 10 to 15psi

The 00's will have the same connections for your smog stuff but in slightly different locationsd on the manifold so you may need to buy new EGR tubing stuff to mak eit work. Or bend the crap out of it like I did on my T/A to install the old style FLP headers. LOL

well I already have the 98 stuff back on so I will more than likely stick with it unless I see solid proof switching would help.
going to be running cats. shooting for 100% smog legal since it's such a B#@$ to smog cars here now. since it's post cat even if they dont get the carb # I just disconnect the tube going into the TB and hook my stock airbox back up for smog.
30 minutes max to swap back and forth. getting too old to di#$ around with this stuff. going for simple easy to deal with power.

I plan on running my pair of supertrapps for the mufflers and will also be plumbing the wastegate into the exhaust stream to quiet it down. All I want to hear is exhaust and whistle. The open wastegate sounds horrible to me.
I plan to test both open exhaust/wastegate vs muffled exhaust/wastegate on the dyno to see how much power it costs me.
Should be very helpfull information for others out there I think.
