"BUY A DRAG GEN 3 TURBO KIT . 110 PONIES MORE AT THE WHEELS. AND ITS REASONABLLY PRICED"

There are better kits for around the same price, do research before buying any kit. Just because drag is the most popular doesnt mean its the best. If i was gonna get a kit i would rather go with a max rev or rev hard kit, the full-race kit also looks very nice.

if you build a block internally, the best choice is advanced engine breathing systems.

there t-sleeves are rated up to 55 psi boost

what about the crank, rods, rings, pistons, head, valves, etc.....just so the guy doesnt get it and crank the boost up to 40 psi.....i've seen heads HELD BY ARP STUDS blow completely through a hood on a turbo mustang one time.......tried running to much boost and the weak link gave...supposedly bullet proof engine but their is some type of limit on any engine

To build the motor to withstand a lot of power.
Basically overbuilding the motor for it's use is makingit bullet proof, it's just a term used to describe it's strengh.
And example would be if you were building a box out of wood to ship a computer. Using 1/4" plywood and 1x4's would be more then enough, but if you wanted to build a "bullet proof" box you would build it out of 1" plywood and 2x4's to make sure it won't break

I hear GEM (Golden Eagle) Sleeves are sinking

But dart has some burly ass blocks! $2000 for a closed deck B18 or B20. Be realistic dude! If you want to make that kinda power and not watch pistons fly through your hood, you gonna need one of these.

GE hasn't had a sleeve sinking issue for a couple years... their old style sleeves did, but the hew HD's are unsinkable. They're beautiful. I would also recommend benson's sleeves (from personal experience).

I've tuned multiple daily-driven setups to over 300whp with stock internals without any issues. It's all in the tune. Just don't skimp on the engine management... at the very least, consider one of the free hacks (uberdata or crome). NepTune is the SHIT... or you can really step up to AEM EMS, autronic, etc..
