I've had my car planned out over the last year. Even Devising everything in steps and seasonal goals of each step. Ultimately I wanted to end up with a Hp Performance Turbo Kit as a daily Driver and 600HP. I'm really thinking the way things are going to turn out that I would be better off with the Texas Rear Turbo Kit. With Upgraded/Bigger IC Piping and a Customized Stage IV Kit utilizing a TurboXS RFL BOV, Blitz SBC-iD/Power Meter-iD, along with my own HPTuner tuning.
Depending on how I like the install I might have the Intake reworked with a Rain Shield for the intake and such but for the most part. I really think the kit will be easier to tune, maintain, and modify to fit my needs.
Current and Planned Setup In Preperation of Turbo Install with a Daily Driver Goal of 600HP
Here is my Current Setup:
98 Silver TransAm WS6 400HP440TQ
383 Stroker Eagle Crank, Eagle H-Beam 6.2" Connecting Rods, JE Flat-top pistons
Intake-Direct Flo Lid, 3x3 Fernco, Ported&KnifeEdged TB
*(Valvetrain and Exhaust will be replaced in preperation of Turbo Kit with Parts listed below)
LS6 Valvetrain & LS6 GENIII HOTCAM,
Exhaust-True Dual 3" Xpipe W/Cats & Dynomouth Bullet Mufflers
*(10 bolt will be replaced in preperation of Turbo Kit with Patrs listed below)
Drivetrain-3.73's,Star Spec 3, mast+slv cyl upg.
Chassis and Susp-BMR(SFC's, Trailing Arms, Panhard rod & lowering Springs) HAL Adjustable Struts, Rollcage
Fuel:Racetronix Fuel Pump 255lph
Rear: 18x10.5 w/ 315/30/18's
---------------------------------------------
Pending Install: SLP LT's
Pending Order : LPE GT2-3 Cam
-----------------------------------------
Planned to Order before Turbo Install
1. CNC ported LQ9 heads. 23-8N stainless steel valves, bronze guides, machined spring bases, Patriot Gold .650" dual springs, Titanium retainers, super 7 locks, viton rubber seals, 238cc intake runners 83cc "D" shaped exhaust runners 72cc combustion chambers, 2.05" stainless intake valves, and 1.60" stainless
(These heads should drop my compression between 9.2:1 and 9:1)
2. LSX Intake Manifold with 90mm ThrottleBody
3. 12 bolt rear. 3.73's, 1350 yolk, upgraded Eaton posi, 33 spline axles, and TA girdle Cover
4. ACPT Carbon FIber Drive Shaft

So I'm confused, you want to drop all the other mods you have planned (including 383) and go with a turbo?
I would recomend getting the forged bottom end and the turbo if you can, then you can always save up more later for smaller mods.

I thikn we should pick up the discussions where we initially left off last time and utilize my current information and plans. I really have high expectations. I realize this is a street car kit. That's what I want. A daily driver street car. It's just that I want 600Hp. I know we can make it happen. It's just a matter of chosing the right components and ideal setup.

Wait for it... I am sure PurEvil has something to say.
Or maybe he's tired of the stupid stuff like me.
