I think they have a cryo setup that sprays into your intake pipe that makes the air colder. Maybe a good tune until you get that turbo. a stage one clutch. Other than that I have no idea.

tranny mounts, tranny cooler, sway bars, strut bar, lowering springs/coilovers, engine mounts, drilled/slotted rotors, stage 2 axles, b&m shift kit.

Racing seats if your gonna get a turbo, that would always be nice . Save up for guages to monitor such as boost guage, wideband fuel ratio guage, interceptor.

then i would reccomend HP tuners, once you get your turbo you can tune with that whenever to your specs

i'd go ahead and buy an a-pillar pod and a boost gauge (and whatever other gauge you want to fill in the other mount on the pod) b/c a boost gauge is a damn good thing to have when you put a turbo kit on any car. Then probally some grippier tires, and after that i'd put some money away for getting it all tuned once its installed.

You are less than 30 minutes away from me...if I could only get a good tune that wouldnt break my wallet...then I'd need the harness too...sooooo tempting...

I have some SS/SC injectors and the harness if anyone local is interested. I decided against the setup b/c no one around me has a clue what they are doing with HP Tuners for the LE5 engine, and im not gonna pay a ton of money to use buy the credits, dyno time, and the cost of tuning for a hit or miss tune. HP Tuners sounds great......if you have a trusty tuner who knows what he/she is doing. And I don't. Im gonna keep my stock injectors and do the Vector ECM tune.

The hahn kit comes tunned. Honestly i'd say put it towards the kit.

The hahn kit comes with specific injetors you have to use for it to work right so do not invest in ss/sc injectors or any other kind for that matter. What you really need are gauges (boost, tranny temp, air'fuel, fuel pressure, oil pressure) at least 2.5 inch exhaust and some sticky tires cuz ti will break traction very easily.

where could we get the diff axels from? im going to do the tranny mounts, tranny cooler, sway bar, strut bar, engine mounts, drilled/slotted rotors, and maybe b&m shift kit. i'd really like to know where i could get a heat exchanger and other mods to cool my engine temp down. would air ride be a good idea if i were going to put a turbo and more on my car or would i be better off with after market coil overs?

Well until people start breaking axles we won't know if we really need them. But when Hahn was working more with the j-bodies he really talked up the axles and said they were really one of the beafier parts on the car and one of the beafier axles he'd seen in a sport compact.

the b&m shift plus is a waste of money when the tranny will be professionally tuned, do not buy it...

well i was wondering about the shift kit but if its a waste of money then i dont want it. im glad to hear about the axles though, that takes a load off my mind and makes one less thing to worry about, for now at least. i saw somebody on youtube in a ss supercharged break an axle while drag racing though
