Bring the car to Tx drop it off at ADM. 5-6k installed I believe is the going rate if you do it at his shop

Turbo(s) would be the easiest way to reach 650-700whp.

Twin kit easiest and cheapest way. And can make huge power later. Agp was pumping out 750-800rwhp 1les for awhile. Turbo kit and meth, done.

Oh sh!t here we go again....lol

All kidding aside, I'm partial to turbos. Many of us want more power later, once we get used to what we have. With turbos, just turn up the boost, providing you have fuel for it.

Dichotomy. Blonde or redhead? Lobster or prime rib? Broccoli or brussel sprouts?

The ECS kit or the AGP turbo kit both will get you where you want to go. The AGP will however give you room for more power in the future so .

Let us know if you have any questions.

Yah, and depending on blonde vs redhead, could go either way. Its a win win.

Just make sure you compare complete setups. SC setups typically have headers, intakes, pulleys, tensioners, etc etc etc. That stuff adds up quickly. Turbo kit, you put on, and make as much as you have motor/octane/fuel to support.
