yea, I might just look more into finding a LS1. my friend Daniel (who I spoke of in the first post) made 320rwhp and 340rwtq with only a slp exhaust on the camaro his LS1 came out of. pretty impressive to me considering my stock S14 made 127hp and 143tq. thats a huge gain, and probably cheaper than getting a SR or the KA to those same levels. but were definitely looking to turbo his, he's hoping for 800+ hp. I don't really know why. just to say it has it I guess. I'm looking for a much lower, streetable number. around 400 give or take. and it's doable, reliably. and I'd still be looking at 20mpg hwy. The only thing I hate, is how "redneck" it sounds. "let's throw a V8 in it". but I think the advantages outweigh that. ha ha, then I'll only be left with getting rid of my blue emerald paint.
