Default So the GT is getting parked soon

So ive decided to park my GT for awhile, the whole steering system is screwed up, the body shop never fixed what they said they did.. both front tires are almost bald, every time i hit a bump the steering wheel is all over the place. im so angry about this, went and talked to the shop and they said the money is gonna have to come out of my pocket for them to look at it... Well my plans now are to park the car soon, pull the motor and start building a nasty 2v. debating between the KB 2.6L s/c or the twin 57mm turbo kit..

I haven't had a rear set of tires that last more then year in a long time. Thats why I swapped the nitto drags for street tires last time around and maybe this time I will get more then one year on rear set.

the turbo's are more efficient but the power doesnt come on until 3k on a properly built setup. kenne bells make full boost at 2000-2500 rpm and there is no boost drop off at the high end.

also, turbos do not have as good of a throttle response as the kenne bell's

and your not always in boost if you have a kenne bell. normal driving you should be at vacuum or at most 1 or 2 psi.
