Here`s what I would do if your car was mine.
A set of pistons for at least 10.5 to 1 then an afm cam. Why afm, because it will run nearly as good as any of the customs, and I would put the turbo out of my head. It cost too much once you add up all the changes you will have to make to the car and suspension, a set of pistons and a cam and some gaskets and you should be mid to low 11`s around $1000

whats all involved in swapping pistons,will i get everything needed to install them?or is there something i would need to get also?you say the syspension if i go to turbo? why do you say that and what all do you mean? The only thing i think i would really need to change for the "syspension" is the rear gears. I have QA1 12 way alumn schocks air bag upper and lower rear arms moser axles driveline loop rearend gurdle rearend cover welded TQ boxes and soon to be a wolf racecraft rear sway bar. the front is tubular k memeber adjustable coil overs tubular arms.peace

It looks like the car is setup to handle the extra power, many forget about that extra power on things like axles.
