Turbos or bigger Kenne Bell???

I am throwing the idea around of selling one snake and building the other one up even more. Thinking about de-modding the silver one and throwing a larger twin screw or turbo kit on the red one. Since it already has a mild built motor she could hold some serious boost with the following mods already on it, right?

CP Mod Max Forged pistons 17cc dish roughly 8.0 to 1 compression (stock 11-13cc dish)
Bored .20 over
ARP head studs
ARP rod bolts
H bearings
Stock rods, crank, and heads

What do you recomend 2.6 or 2.8 Kenne Bell or Turbo kit (if so which one and cost)?

Thanks in advance, just thinking outloud at this point. Not sure if it is worth it to switch to GT500 or other car and build them. :dunno:

Turbos....hands down

Picking a kit just comes down to what you want in your turbo system... SS, low end, high end, Battery placement, suspension, etc

Don't want hack up the car and I would be using it for drags and highways blasts. I would be going with a tube K member, coilovers, and better suspension setup. Not sure if I would stick with DSS level 5's and built IRS or go soild.

Id say either the HPP kit, Hellion or a Custom Single

Personally of the three my last choice would be Hellion....first HPP



Id stick with the IRS... the guys at Houston Performance have already shown that a full weight IRS stick car has no problems at the track

Cool - yeah leaning towards IRS so it is still fun on the street and I already have Level 5's, IRS brace, bushings, and all that stuff.
