as far as hp youll probly be sitting at about 175whp
for more power, fhave head, port polish, custom intake mani, port/polish tb, increased valve size, adjustable cam gears, built valve train, 5 angle valve job, bore out cyl, higher compression
after that and a lil more im hoping for high high 200's whp, and it will happen
im about to do the whole head, intake mani, and tb, should be about 22-240whp when tuned and done
stg 2 ss/sc here i come

my eventual plan is to get a zzp turbo kit, and then replace the rods when i decide it's time to up the boost.
from the point i'm at, it's either spend over a g for what 10-20 more hp, or spend 2g's for 60-100 more hp.

okay well my dad always drove v8's even my first car was a 305 and i did a few things... so this 4cyl turbo thing is new to me. I dont know how to piece together a turbo. isnt the saab turbo totally swappable considerin its gm on a ecotech?

yes the saab turbo mani works on our car, don't see why you couldn't at least use the turbo from a saab and the mani. although, i'd suggest going 16g turbo. will give ya great low-mid rpm's.

nwae if i may ask how much money have you put into your engine, and whats the whp? and btw isnt nitrous safer then turbo since turbo is boosting the engine all the time and nitrous is only strain when used? just throwing it out there
