Default new guy here

New guy here. Formally a honda/acura guy. ( still am because i build turbo kits for them). Recently purchased a silver 1998 Z28, 80K miles, 1 owner and i will be developing a kit for it possibly for retail, if not personal use =) all my personal cars get the turbo treatment. Im here to research more about this car as well as the things i need to do to get it turbocharged and still maintain all the factory functions. Any help would be great. thanks !

Turbo? Who needs a stinkin' turbo?
Welcome from the land of rice, please do not plant in this forum.
But seriously, I think that you will like the power potential of your new ride, and this is certainly the best forum on the net for fbodies.
