Need advice...
My goal is between 500 -550 HP
99 C5 coupe, with LT headers, HF cats, CAI, tune. Stock tranny, rear end, and engine (76K miles on it).
I do not track or drag it. Its a weekend toy for me. Drivability and reliability (as much as possible) is important.
SC or turbo? Thanks for your help

Stock tranny was listed, is it a automatic or manual? If it is a automatic you will need to upgrade to handle the added horsepower even if you don't go to the track or drag strip, if its a manual you will need to upgrade to a clutch that will handle the added hp. My two cents.

mmartinez, the car is a MN6. I'm probably going with the LS7 clutch upgrade, unless you guys recommend another brand.
I know the cost of the A&A kit installed is approx $6500 - $7000
How much would a twin turbo installed cost approx? I was looking at the UPP's setup. What's your thoughts on that kit, slowZO6?
