Hi LsJuan25,
Greetings to you. In regards to a TT set up, there are several kits available. Two of the most impressive and highly regarded are the Lingenfelter and the incredible TT system once R&D'd and heralded by John and Debbie Hall of Halltec Engineering. The two systems mentioned above are examples of well thought out engineering and application. Out of two, the Lingenfelter remains available and is an amazing strong horse as an consistent American standard in this exotic application.
However, without entering into the immense detail needed to discuss this topic: In general, TT systems incur the highest expense in engine modification. It is possible for even the most highly regarded TT systems to have "gremlins". But, you can be assured that even many more concerns are found with other "recombinant" forms (i.e., "Bought it used from a friend of a friend"; Don't know the history, or, originating manufacturer; System is yet another unknown and replicated system found on e-bay, and, may very well be a hodge-podge of mix and match parts from numerous kits, etc.).
In general, often questionable dependable consistency, high heat/temperature issues, multiple and specialty parts found only specific to your system, as well as, the need for a competent tuner within reasonable proximity, whom is well informed with the many intricacies involved with the level of tuning that is required for such a set up, are just only some of the burdensome challenges that may impose an immense and costly venture. If you decide upon a system, Lingenfelter offers a very consistent, well known, and, amazing TT system with the technical service to attend you and provide you an exceptional upgrade. Perhaps give them a call to help educate yourself further on this topic.
However, if you decide otherwise, I advise much caution. Do your homework. And, I emphatically agree with our fellow CF members above: EnglandGreen; Darknight; BlackMagicC5, and, the many helpful others who have all offered their concerned and thought provoking support to you. Quite frankly, there is a lot more to consider in such a conversion than immediately meets the eye. Let us know how it turns out.
Best Wishes to You,
Eden
