I've heard about 30 stock, so maybe about 50shot?
I have no clue though really. Just saying what I've heard...

ya, great... pistons and rods... the crank don't need no love, and surely a 15 year old head gasket will hold NAAAWWWS too Why do you wanna spray your motor? Why don't you just build it?

well most importantly its illegal to have... so your fucked if you get pulled over and its hooked up.... and if you need nos on the street your already gonna be going well over the speed limit.... which will only give mr po po a reason to look in your trunk

the fact remains that your "new" ZC motor is used and 15 years old.... so why is getting a turbo system that is say 5 years old such a bad thing...

Cause you see, a Nitrous system will run him 600 bucks, a turbo will run him 1500 at least, maybe its not in his budget.

if your building your own turbo it can be done for $1000 max... there is someone on this board that makes homemade turbo set ups... can't remember what he sells them for but i believe they are under 1000
