if you are only wanting 350 go with 1.single turbo kit(powerlab,or turbonetics)
2. ati procharger
3. vortech supercharger
all 3 of these you can keep well under 10k

also which ecu you go with...
there are lots of variables.

hmmm, i have a stack of reciepts, and a few pages of internet reciepts i have not wanted to print out yet.

the most valueable sentence i have heard in my automotive life is " THE MORE YOU PUT INTO A CAR, THE MORE IT COSTS TO KEEP IT GOING" i have yet to figure out if it is the want for more power, or the want for perfection. i guess they go hand in hand. both of these are more or less, my life. luckily, seeing others on this sight, i am not alone, hahhaa.
