With all that you'll probably be pretty deep into the 11's

zzp stage 3...so you're doing their turbo kit correct? can't go wrong with that I've been thinking about selling my car to pick up a 2.4 just for that reason haha....not worth it tho can do the same thing with mine =/.
you should just ask them though. they're the ones with one in the 12's almost 11's iirc.

Psh, don't listen to the haters. I think a 2.4 turbo will be a great car. Enough displacement to be a good DD, and quick when boost kicks in.

I ALMOST (key: almost) wish I would have went that route rather than my 08 SS, but I love my car.
