If you want to drop the cash get one of the crazy new turbos, but AFAIK they won't fit on the SP NA manifold... Lar would have to fab up a new manifold to make it fit between the motor/shock tower/hood. The housings on the new turbos are HUGE.
If you go the route where you have to get a manifold made, I would appreciate it because then I won't have to put money into having one made like I did when I paid to have the original SP NA manifold made... I could just buy one after they did all the fitments, etc. on your car
Regardless good luck on the project!

You planted the seed of doubt in my mind, so I called Larry, and we're going bigger! I guess I would have gone bigger eventually.Chris
