Looking at turbo kits
I've been researching a little bit on here and i've got a few question's
Whats the limitation's on the stock block with and with out the thicker head gasket?
Any other option's besdies the full race, inline pro, or love fab kit?
Im coming off of a 450 fwhp car that had a 3076r on it, is the 3076r a decent turbo for this motor?
Any light on boosting this car would help, I'd like to make 400ish whp on the car and have it be a highway monster.

The search key is your friend.
We have this question posed every other day and it has been answered several hundred times.
the 3076 would be fine for a mild build on the s2k.
Stock block can handle some decent power due to the already forged internals, but that is still limited to the tune.
That said with a 3076 regardlessof how much you turn it up the block will be able to handle whatever pressures it can apply.

I saw that the full-race kit is a pain in the ass to install, is this correct?
I noticed on some dyno graphs the spool time on the gt3076r is alot slower than other's, thats the reason I asked.
Has anyone really broke down all the kit's against each, I'd like a tubular manifold and the only two I have seen other than one off one's are the full race and the love fab.

The lovefa mini me manifold can put down some good power but being tubular and our engine being an inline 4 cylinder it is prone to cracking due to heat and stress factors. Again if its not your DD then yo ucan make some serious power with this manifold.
the 3076 will spool alot quicker then the one that I am using and that most of the others on this forum are using. Most of us are using the 35r or an equivalent of it. Some are using housings into the 40-42 size for huge power but slower spooling.

and to answer the questions, you can run up to 500whp with a 3mm headgasket maybe a little more depending how good your tuner is but I wouldn't recommend anything over 500whp. stock motor w/o headgasket can run up to 400whp but again, it will be a lot of stress to the engine.
there are other kits for the car but i'd say inlinepro would be the perfect choice with the amount of power you are looking for.
gt3076r would be the best turbo for a 400whp application. i don't know why you said it spools slower than the "others" ??? what others are you talking about?? i think spool time on a gt30r is pretty quick. a gt30r will spool at around mid 3000s whereas my SC61 spools at 4400
