That first one is all business... not for looks.
The second is the GM SC kit.

I think I might buy a turbo for my car but and bring it in somewhere to get it dyno tuned / installed.

That will be the same setup I will be doing on my GT soon...I'm going to paint the interior panels red, the top manifold red, put in red LED in the cockpit, engine bay (possibly), and if I have time+money too...put a soundsystem with red LEDs there too.
right now I have the Dark Cherry Metallic paint....When i start working on the car I'll get some pictures

It's not a street car. Lag isn't exactly an issue on the track when you can get into the boost before the car leaves the line.

the gm kit, when installed as sold, is supposed to be a 50/50 gain on hp and torque. Now, there are guys that have changed to a 2.6" pully and are getting 220whp with no other mods... I got that same pulley, bigger injectors, and am spraying meth to cool and i'm only 184whp cause i wanted a reliable powered car that I could still take to shows and it doesn't really matter hp at that point, it just is good for points that you have a power adder... At the end of the day, its all about tuning :)

Didn't a lot of those guys also send the S/C out to get PnP'd?

I asked for a safe tune cause at the time of original install the car's main purpose was show car, not go car. That has changed though... i'll be going "ocho" here pretty soon

Eh... I remember when it was ~$4K

+40 HP
In other words, 190 HP at the crank with no other mods.

That's not really a street car, so it isn't going to matter.

Sorry, I think your tune sucked any way you cut it. Or the motor was on it's last legs anyway.

Could be tuner as well, but whatev... I'm not overly worried about it cause when it goes back in the next couple of weeks here it's balls to the wall. When the motor breaks again, i'll part it and call it a day :)
