it only gets bigger with H/c/i forced induction on top of that is major headache, but dont be like everyone else and get 4 lug fobra R's and a vortech, that was cool in like 02'.. (hehe)

society has moved on, and now people have 5 lug wheels, and turbo power, and things called tuning software instead of an old fmu lol hell I even put a CD player in my whip..

the only reason your minute rice buddy's are having with thiers is because they suck at making a map, if you have good maps, and an all together good safe tune, it will run like stock until you hear whistling...

I don't have the spare cash to swap to 5 lug when I can use that money else where.
I also lik the Cobra wheels and honesty don't care what was cool in 02....

Like I've said I have no interest in tuning. I'm fully aware of how much power turbos make and that "society??" loves turbos.

I'm asking about a centri blower because that's what I'm looking for. Also won't be using an FMU.

Sorry if my 4 lug non turbo car isn't good enough. Not trying to be a dick but that's the vibe I got from your post

Well I am looking to run around 15 psi on my single turbo setup with completely untouched 170k mile bottom end. But then again my goal is to destroy the motor.

I wouldnt worry so much about how much boost you are making but how much power are you going to make with X psi. Everyone knows after 500hp you need to start worrying.

If you are not going to run an FMU and you have no interest in tunning, prepare to call your tunner your pimp.

There's a local tuning shop that does very good work. I've been told to avoid fmu and plan to have a chip burned.
I want a car that's fun to drive and don't want to spend my time tuning and retuning.
