Default What would you do?

Well right now i have the money to either put in a procharger, or do a drivetrain build so it can handle the power from f/i, but i do not know what i should do first...i know its more logical to do the drivetrain first otherwise id have not traction ever, but i dont know if i can wait! haha
and before i get anything about getting an SC instead of TC i am going with the SC cuz this is my daily driver and i need it to still pass smog, with the TC i dont think there is a kit that i can do that other than the STS (i think) but i love SC's cuz the power is there pretty much through out the whole rpm range where as a turbo u have to wait for it to spool up...correct me if im wrong with that assumption... so yeah any feed back would be great....the drive train build would consist of moser 12 bolt, spec stage 3 clutch, torque arm, suspension, etc.
thanks

Drive train!! You have an M6 so when you shift gears it is much harder on the DS and the rear end. Ya a super charger would be nice but you will fry the clutch and rear realy realy fast.

I would do drivetrain and then add heads and cam - should be about what a procharger kit goes for. Throw a Walbro 340m fuel pump in there too since you will have the axle out. Just get a boost friendly cam and the car will probably be an easy 12 sec car. When you get the FI, then you have 11's or 10's.

I still have the stock drivetrain in my tt 408 car, the clutch slips like crazy now at higher RPM and I'm sure things are about to break.

I waited on my drivetrain just because its winter months and I will not be driving it hard, its all up to you, if you don't run good rubber the stock drivetrain will take a lot of punishment as the tires will just break loose instead of shocking the drivetrain real hard.
