I'm going to wait for the turbo, I had a bad experience with installing a supercharger on my Camaro, and I want to get the engine built to handle all it can before I install a turbo.

How about a seperate savings account dedicated just to auto type expenses. You could save up for another car and then dedicate one of them strictly to auto-cross. OrTake one of the Bonderant racecar driving courses.

If your going turbo in the future don't waste your money on a header.I would just port out your existing header. Then get a Camcon. You can tune it to get the most out of your mods. You should be able to get 15hp+/- out of it with tuning.

Boy, I'm going to have to watch this list, some good ideas here! I'm going to throw out get rid of your Megan STB and get a DC Sports STB. Header and mid-pipe, vertical or gullwing doors, suicide in the back.
