APS TT daily driver?
Alright here's what i have. '01 z5 z06 with 94k miles. Full exhaust system, lingenfelter cam and intake manifold (planning on replacing mani with a FAST 92mm composite one), cold air intake and a clutch (which needs replaced relatively soon). And then a full JOC suspension kit.
I'm really wanting a turbo kit and i've been looking at the APS TT kit and I'm curious if this will be a good DD setup? Also is it really worth it? I would only be running the stock setup on boost (6-7 i believe) and I don't have any internals and stuff like that so i'm not trying to blow up my car. I currently have 447 rwhp according to the dyno. I'm not 100% sure on what all I would need to buy on top of buying the TT kit to make everything work properly and not have some junk setup but just wanted to decide if I even wanted to go this route before doing all my research on accessory parts I would need to buy.

You aren't going to want to make much over 550 to 600 rwhp on a stock short block, so is the price of a turbo kit worth 100 to 150 rwhp to you?
Along with the turbo kit, you will need an upgraded fuel delivery system, much better clutch, probably want hardened shafts in the differential (if you plan to use sticky tires at the dragstrip), probably will be building your transmission soon, additional gauges for boost, AFR, and fuel pressure, etc
