you are better off getting rid of that motor and swapping in a new one 18secFerio. My brother has the exact same car as you, automatic, and its slow as ****. My friend also has the same car with a 55 shot on it, and it too is slow as **** so yeah, turbo wont be much better. You need a motor first

you guys talked about easily getting a y8 to 300hp. how abouts did you do that. and btw, how easy is it to convert my y7 to a y8. i've heard of the "mini me" conversion. but don't know much about it

screw swaps!

Didnt Jkan make like 175 on 8 psi with his Y8? i dunno if a Y8 would yield a lot more than a Y7, but you will def. be over 160

I doubt you will make 160 on 8psi. I have seen some auto tegs that only make about 180 on 10psi. I'd just convert the tranny, get it out of the way.
