abbotts racing has some of the best heads/intake/cam setups for our cars. check them out

Rear end I would think about a moser 12 bolt or something stronger than our weak 10 bolt rears.

Re: Need Information Have Turbo 3.8L Please Help

where you from? Would be good to get one from somewhere as close to you as possible.

Here is one link to a place that sells them. http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...mid=60&catid=6

Can be found at other places too, I will see if I can find some more once I know where you are from.

Also how is your suspension? Have you upgraded that stuff? Also what kind of tranny do you have?

I have just the stock 5 speed it came with and I live in Gibsons British Columbia... Thanks for helping me out man what do you recommend for a tranny?

Re: Need Information Have Turbo 3.8L Please Help

I can look up 5 speed trans later but I think you have enough on your plate already. What suspension upgrades do you have to put that stuff to the ground?

Also do you have a cardomain site with some pics and such?

Re: Need Information Have Turbo 3.8L Please Help

should have put this in the FI forum

read the stickies in the FI area they will help you out alot

345RWHP is not bad !!!

HP Tuners
65# hour injecotrs
and Wide Band O2 sensor

then do some tuning or have it tuned

this would let you crank the boost a good amount

The tranny will not hold. 3rd gear is weak, infact i'm surpised you have not broke it already. G-force sells upgrades for the T-5, Linxs is the only one to go this route so far, awating his results and R&D to see how long the biult tranny lasts

Me and a few others have swap to Auto's and had them biult up to hold the power auto car are also faster in the 1/4 mile ;) anyway......

you also may want to think about upgrading the turbo, that one is going to top out around 415 RWHP i think

Re: Need Information Have Turbo 3.8L Please Help

I guess it depends on how much money you have left over will determine what you should do next. I would say LCA's and torque arm for better launches. rod-ended lca's and a torque arm that moves the conection from the transmission to the body. You don't want to break the tailshaft from a hard launch. Heads will help a lot, especially on a turbo car. You will end up making less boost overall, but will make more power due to higher flow. If it's confusing, here's how that works. it's like blowing air through a straw, try to blow air through a coffee straw, and you have a lot of pressure, but only a little air can go through, try a bigger straw, less pressure but more air can go through. The heads are like the straws and the turbo is you. stock heads are the coffee straw, P&P'd heads are like the regular straw.
