AFR's seem to be kicking *** right now.

As for ported heads, MTI and APE seem to be the few dependable places left.
Lots of people using Patriot also.

FFHP and Racetech are also sponsors.

As for cam, maybe having one custom ground to match your head selection would be a good idea. Your head supplier can guide you.

Well my goals aren't to make my car run in the 10's or be a drag queen, i wanna still use it as my daily driver. Price is i mportant, but i'd rather spend money and buy something that's really good, then spending little and getting shitty upgrade. I want it to run at least in the low 12's. One more thing, i dont want nitrous.

If your motor is healthy then go with the STS turbo kit...
If you want NA go with Rapidmotorsports H/C..

Who said you're going to go through hell with a SC? ATI kits are pretty damn good. Especially if you don't try pushing the boost past 12#, thats about where you start running into problems usually.

I'm with pdd here, TEA and FMS all the way for H/C setups.

what's the price difference between the H/C package or the STS turbo kit? my motor is pretty damn fine actually, i maintain it, and it has about 69000 miles.
