for a turbo you'd need to change many things:
cam, gears, heads or pistons (for lower CR)

im almost done with my procharger build and if i had to do it over again id stick with nitrous.... just my .02$

Too many variables to really answer your question. Whats the budget? What are the ET goals? Its hard to beat a good H/C/nitrous setup for good ET's on the cheap.

the T-Rex cam is a little on the big side for a turbo or a supercharger. or I should say it isnt going to work well with a forced induction setup. all of the other mods seem to be alright. for decent driveability I am going with a procharger kit. but it is all in what you want to accomplish. so change the cam and get a good tune. o yeah and probably a 9" or 12bolt rearend.

yea the t rex cam would have to be changed.... but i love the way it sounds so i dont think a turbo or anything would be the thing for this car... someday i want to build a street driveable turbo 427 camaro
