    no matter which way you go you will be rebuilding it for more boost, hence the componants will be the same, one of those arp kits would be good, or get a stroker kit

    go supercharged,
    vortex heads are around 3k, if you turbo charge it you'll have to change the head anyway,
    im pretty sure thats pulley included aswell
    depends how high psi do u want to go???
    intercooler?? (pending on what boost setting you use)
    definatly stroke it, do something about the cams and port polish???
    should be pushing a few then

    i wanna do the same thing, not in a position yet tho

    let us know how it goes and post lots of pics

    what are vortex heads? why would you change the head? which head that doesnt make any sence....

    pends how much u want to spend u could ran around 10psi in to a stock engine with a good tune.
    saying this you would want to up grade your feul system,and have a cooler fitted.
    if you want to go all out your looking at big $
    id convert to turbo buick rods and use after market pistons with them have the rods fitted with arp bolts, blacnhced checked for bend twist crack tested resized etc.
    keep the stock crank.
    mild port job done on the heads and a reco $1000, custom cam $600 timming chain srpings push rods etc etc it all add up very fast and i can be screwed going through everything.

    im gonna get a strocker kit from C.O.M.E .
    that way the pistons and con rods dont jump out of the motor,
    i found 2 turbo`s that can run up to 24 psi, but id be running it on 12 psi to 16 psi,apex deep intercooler,

    tha vn should be push into the 12 seconds on the 1/4 mile,
    and if its not then its gonna get some go gas(NOZ) lol

    yeah see he'd need a new head to run that kind of pressure...
    running 12-16 psi you'd probbly need better injectors (probbly come with the stroker kit) and a bigger fuel pump, have you replaced the fuel pump on the car yet???, some other ideas would be some structual reinforcement lol... 12 seconds is pretty quick for a vn
