Do not get hung up on how it sounds vs. how it performs. This is how many people OVER cam there vehicles and regret it later when it's a dog off the line or requires a **** ton of pedal to get it going.

Are you manual or auto? You'll more then likely need to mate it up to a higher stall.

I realize we all started somewhere. I'll tell you anything is possible. Just depends on your budget.



the skies the limit. For what it's worth you can turbo just about anything. Start with... a CAI,tune and exhaust. Save a little... I mean your all over.. stroker,cam,turbo... do some research on whats in your budget.
