The turbo is a worthwhile investment, but most kits come at a rather low setting of boost, usually no higher than 5-6, and 7 in some cases. But like most people youll want more and turn up the boost, and youll break ****, which will cost more money, so i still stand by the cnc ported head with stock valvetrain, with upgraded intake and exhaust flow. i bet you see somewhere around 150-170whp.

So guess what, he bought a stick on ss hood scoop off of ebay. When he told me that I just shook my head. He wants to paint it black and leave the rest of his hood yellow.

If he is going for looks, nothing changes the look of a car more then a bigger set of rims and tires. You sould be able to get a nice set of 17" racing wheels with some good tires for $1200.

well for looks i would say this car benefits much from a nice tint job since our windows are kinda big it makes them look smaller, the car needs a drop bad so springs are a good idea, and rims are a great idea especially for a base model on the ss's the rims look good on the car

I would get a nice drop and some wheels...since there are no struts out there for these cars yet you can pick up a set of springs for $200ish and spend the rest of wheels/tires. Thats all you really need looks wise...
