I wouldve went with the GT76r turbo setup ( over the YSI) in the first place had i known about it but im doin it now. I like the YSI but like the sounds of this turbo better( as far as makin more power on 93oct and bein able to adjust boost from in the car etc. etc.). Also considered a 427 w/ a DP nitrous kit but I love having the power there all the time.

I would have got an automatic Formula with a stall, cam, headers, 12 bolt, and N2O...

I would definitely have gone with low compression heads, more agressive cam (have a baby cam now), if I could do it all over.

N/A is old school. Would'nt do it again. I would'nt have built the motor I have. Realistacly unless you race you don't need a motor that supports 1500+ hp. Its a waste of money unless you find a good used motor. I would have built a low dollar twin turbo motor that would handle 900hp or less. Live & learn I guess.
