Well after about 2 years of deliberation I decided to pull the trigger on going turbo. To make my story short sweet my rides got 158k on her, still runs like a champ but last time I did compression test had about 160ish psi across the board so I decided to build the block as she's an old girl. Here's my rundown of parts and such.
Track forged turbo kit with billet 6262
Aem ems
Id 1000
Aeromotive 340
Hondata 4 bar map
Aem wideband & boost gauge
Clutchmasters stage 4 6 puck with 11 lb competition clutch flywheel
Arp headstuds
Full built ferrea head
Block being built by machine world(thank you passman for advice)
Darton sleeves, wiesco's 9.5:1, Manly turbo tuff rods, acl bearings, arp headstuds
Goal is Max out pump but anything over 500whp will make me smile for a while , eventually change fuel system and switch to e85 and aim for 700.
Will post updates accordingly

Before all this madness begun

Forklifts are so much more boss than engine hoists

Block all apart being sent out

Parts, Parts, Parts

Track Forged Manifold and Billet 6262

Full blown radiator next to stocker

Block back- Darton mid sleeves, 9:5-1 Wiescos, Manley Turbo Tuff Rods

The most unenjoyable straddling of my center console to get this bastard in

The means to an end

Ferrea fully built head

My perty gauges

Trying to keep her cool

All done finally

 

awesome good luck chris , post lots of pics

 

Thanks Matt I shall

 

congrats on the setup...why dont u run e85 now?...any pics of ur setup?

 

Once I get pics Phil ill post em up still waitin on parts. Figured see how 500ish wheel pans out for my liking once I get bored then I'll up it to e85. Plus closest e85 places to me is about 20mins from my house so it's not nearly as convinent.

 

oh ok kool..the closest spot for me is also 20 mins away..in rockville center

 

20 mins away for me too, its worth it, but my cars a weekend warrior also

 

Figured I share decided to change head setup from just super tech springs and retainers to fully build ferrea head ( thanks John from machine world for advice). Will post all the build pics upon completion unfortunately builds been extremely slow due to work but hey it allows me to keep affording more badass parts
