What would you do turbo or firebird so I'm debating whether I'm going to install a turbo and a transmission and a upgraded suspension to my Monte Carlo or if I'm going to purchase a 2002 Firebird ws6 black on black with 32k miles either way I'm looking at 15kish what would you do?

No , it was me doing the work.
5,000 for Turbo
3500 for Transmission
2000 for suspention/brakes
So i'll save 5k or so going with turbo/trans/upgrades.
Not really to sure how a ls4 is going to handle boost with 70k miles on it already.

Does anyone have a transmission removal guide that may of been posted.I have all the tools in the world but I've not removed a fwd transmission .I hate trusting other people to do the work it's only in our nature to take shortcuts

Lol its not your fault i didnt read all of the post thats mybad. I went back and see where you said FWD so it would have to be a newer model like yours. The 5.3 can make some serious power, good luck on your build. Id make sure you have a nice forged internals for piece of mind if you are going to run high boost. Other than that a turbo build is out of my realm. Im currently doing a turbo build but mostly doing the research at the moment. Also post pics of the build please

Yea x11nut is running 3.29 its a beast around town but a little harder to get traction at the track he said if i had to do it again he would keep stock but i love my 3.29 perfect gear not too much of a mpg loss on the highway used to be at 22-2300 @80 now its 2500 but i love them but i rode in his car and thats what sold me on turbo
