          Nitrous is the only answer.

            There's clearly only one logical answer...

            Turbo LS1.

              LS is always the answer. Especially when compared to some POS $1k turbo kit.

                Ford 302 swap w/ twin turbo is the most logical answer in this thread.

                  Turbo. Ls1 is kinda like a slutty girl, everyone has one or has driven one.

                      Thats why its theoretical and titled fun thread. However, my brother is letting me keep it. So now it IS mine.

                        Never been a huge fan of rotarys. I can still respect a mean rx?, but id never swap one.
                        If i turbo i dont really want HUGE horsepower. Maybe 250-275 at most. Less likely to break. ( i hope..)
                        and haha at the slutty ls1 xX

                          I'd seriously spend some time looking at the cost of putting a turbo on anything. there is a reason those kits have "everything you need" for about a grand........they're CRAP.

                          I'm going to have well over a grand in quality hard parts with my setup.........and I'm fabricating all my hot and cold side.

                          And.....those turbo kits don't usually include any of your fuel or ecu upgrade needs. Then, if you have no experience tuning.......well tack on several hundred more dollars.

                          Be realistic. Get it to a good functional order mechanically, then start playing. A full suspension and brake refresh will cost you over a grand alone........
