Your going to need a turbo kit, fuel system, good clutch to hold the power, maybe a new trans/rear/short block, some suspension mods, a good tuner, different cam and heads, and money. That should cover it.

Verdad Gallardo I dont want to give up a/c, If I dont have to. I would like a good power increase, but Not looking for so much I cant drive around town and cruise. I have a 230/236 on 112lsa Thunder cam. I have Springs coilovers and shocks. Going to get some LCA from BMR soon. My car is an auto. lol so i dont need a clutch. Just Dont know much about turbos and what ones are the best. Dont know what to stay way from and all that. Thats why im asking for help lol.

For a turbo i would contact Jose at forced inductions as he will set you up with the turbo your looking for. The cam will probably have to be changed along with the AFR heads. I would sell them both off and pick up either an ls6 cam or gt2-3 along with some 6.0 heads (say patriot stage 3 6.0 heads) to drop compression if you plan on running the kit on your stock short block and dont want to break the bank. If your car is an auto im not sure what stall you would run with a turbo setup, but im sure someone here could chime in and help you with that. I would also suggest an adjustable panhard rod and some subframe connectors to go with the LCA's. Where are you looking to get the turbo kit from? A single kit pushing 7-8 psi should net you 500 rwhp and your stock short block would survive for a decent amount of time with a good tune and maybe some meth/alky injection as a precautionary measure.

Well im at 405hp/427tq not fully tuned yet. I have a TCI 3500 Stall so that should be ok with the turbo. Im not sure where where to get the turbo from. Thanks for the help. How much do you think I could get out of the heads/cam? Do you have any contact info on jose?

Im not positive of what his name is on the board but he is a sponsor and his website is www.forcedinductions.com As for the heads/cam combo Im sure you could get a good $1500+ out of your setup.
