Picked T-Brake.TH350
FAST XFI...unles you are needing more than 7200RPM stock PCM will do
IF you are already building a turbo motor the tranny will be one of the first to go.
Pick one toy and spend all your money on it

Ok well here is the issue with doing stuff to the car... the c ar motor has a warrenty on it.... so i dont want to void it really. So yeah...
The other thing i did not put in the poll was this s10... it is a reg cab short box s10 with a low compression 350 and a 80's camaro 5 speed. guys did a really good job on the swap and made his own mounts. so the motor sits in the engine bay super level. it has 76cc heads and .70dish forged blower pistons. totaly ready for some forced induction. He is asking about $2500. Or $3000 with lower CC heads and new cam and lifters. Cool little truck.

i don't see how a th-350 with trans brake, turbo setup or fast wouldn't void your weren't either 
. I also don't see why you'd even bother putting a th-350 in an otherwise stock car, not really going to help you much, it's basically the transmission already in your(if you have a4) without 4th gear, i would just have your trans built if i was going that way. Put the money toward a bike, you'll have a lot more fun than anything you do to your car, and if you're going to get a mini bike go with a drz/klx 110 over the honda. Way more fun, more power and only a hundred or two more which you'll save not having to buy clamps and bar kit for the 50, the 110's have a clamp mount already so you can just through on a set of 40$ bars and have the same effect as the $200 kit you'll need for the 50. The 110's are a lot more comfortable too will take more abuse stock for stock. You can basically go out and jump a stock 110 where if you try to do that with a 50 you're going to bend the forks and blow the rear shock. Like i said though street bike or mini you're going to have way more fun for your $$$.

But a crotch rocket is something i really want.. but around here it is next to impposible to find one.. i would have to go a long ways... like Denver or something..

Well I heard the stock PCM gets pretty limited...
Can the stock PCM be programed for speed density and a 3 bar map(I would assume so because of the 93's..)?
If so I may jsut use it...

it can be programmed for speed density, in fact if you unplug the maf it will automatically go into speed density. As far as the th-350 being stronger than the a built stock trans it's not. I also wouldn't consider running a th-350 or a built stock trans if you ever plan on running real power unless you like rebuilding all the time if you drive hard. Also a trans brake gives you more consistency than anything, it's not really going to be much faster at all off the line. Also seeing as the car is 10 years old i'm assuming it's some outsourced warranty? If that the case don't even hold yourself back, any warranty that's not stock will find a way to deny your claim if anything major goes wrong. Go with the bike, i don't really think there's any place in the country where you can't find one within 50 miles unless you live in alaska.

well the motor has only 5000 miles on it... the motor is NEW... and warrented
As for the bike.. its not that i can't find one.. but in wyoming there are no competiters so people charge out the *** and get away with it.
Well I would say finish the turbo setup, BECAUSE
You already have the First and 4th Gen cars. I think you have enough toys for a kid your age. You dont want to be like me and have to many toys to where you cant afford to do any of the things to them you want to.
But if you do get a small bike as stated above go with the KLX 110 the man above doesnt lie. Plus you get the 4th gear kit and that thing will flat out HAUL for a bike like that.
I wouldnt do the new crotch rocket because if your paying on it youd have to have full coverage and youd get raped on insurance.
Shifter Cart Would be a cool toy. I was just looking at those yesterday. haha.
We have a bunch of similarities.

I would buyt the s10 if i didn't already have a slammed 1988 fullsize... i need to get rif of the fullsize before anything... but yeah...
I think i may just get a exhaust... th-350... and start putting together the rest of the turbo setup..
Id say get rid of all the things you dont need then you wont have a thread for 1500 dolars but maybe 4 or 5K then you can do a whole hell of a lot of stuff the the T/A and get a KLX 110 or another toy.
