    Those rear mount turbos for the GTO's seem to work really well. I think the fastest rear mount in the country is a GTO iirc

    Ya, either low mount, rear mount, or any mount... But you will be happier with a turbo setup for MORE power.

    I would say that turbo will make the 600-700hp range pretty easily and you will have the power on tap at every moment instead of just when you hit that button.
    Since you are going to build on anything you build whether it be procharged or roots or whatever stick with what you already have.
    I also like the idea of you being different from your friends who you state have prochargers. Be unique and go whistle at them as you blow by them.
    The turbo system also has some nice things about it when it comes to ability to grow. You can crank up the boost a little at a time and make more power. When your system starts to get too small swap up. Turbo's can make crazy power, but you can keep the boost low as you are slowly building a better motor or upgrading other things(clutch etc).
    Even on low boost you should make a fair bit more power. If you keep your compression up you should be able to spool this turbo without any big issues. If you don't like how it spools give it a small shot of nawz and you should be good.
    My vote is go turbo, but hit that button you already have installed at least once.
    well put kerrige. ive been asking myself the same thing for a couple years now. tvs or turbo. tvs would be much mo simple but the turbo would have mo potential. if you have room for the procharger should have room for a front mount? ive only seen articles on the tvs 1900 stopped reading/dreaming a while back. work work work.. think you might be limited with the roots style and its hard to beat a hair drier's efficiency. i would have to say use what you got and its always a one up to be different. go turbo..

    annnnd hit another wall...

    Cant get the nitrous on the car without another huge investment.

    Im running a 102/102 intake/throttlebody setup along with this 1000 dollar fiberglass otr intake from austrailia with a ls7 maf fabbed into it. Due to nozzle placement the only place i can put the nozzle is behind the maf which will cause all sorts of issues. OR in front of it which according to Nitro Daves will be entirely too close to correctly distribute to all cylinders increasing the chances of leaning out a few cylinders up front 10 fold.

    First thoughts were, I can either take the maf out, which i then need to patch up the intake, retune, blablabla, or i can buy a plate for the nitrous kit. Well i just found out, since i have a meziere electric water pump and already had to grind the hell out of my nick williams 102 dbw throttle body to even make it fit around the larger electric water pump outlet, the nitrous plate is never going to work cause guys are already grinding the hell out of the stock water pump(to the point where some have even leaked) to make the 102 fit with the 102 plate.

    So its either remove the maf, re-fiberglass the intake, repaint the intake, retune speed density, and install the fogger further back, or spend tons of money on 7 more foggers, plumbing, distribution blocks, and all of the time to make it direct port.

    FML... baby jesus does not want me to go fast this summer or something. This blows, i really wanted to smack it down a few times before going full forced induction.
