I hope your joking about that paperweight you listed from ebay.

most people just make their own heatshield and yes, they do make quite a big difference in stand still traffic.

Yes I was making a joke hence the hacker/noob/ricer talk

I laugh at ppl buying them.

Thanks about the heatshield too, I will search the forums to see if someone has listed a How-To

I am going to put a turbo kit on from Az dyno I was just wondering what all of you thought would be good upgrades for the engine. diamond pistons etc... to make the engine last awhile. What all would you do if money was not an issue.

Depends on how fast you want to go.

"What all would you do if money was not an issue". Is this not the case? If money is no issue than i don't know what pistons to go with. I got diamond pistons. Those should work fine. I would bore it sleeve it, I would Buy titanium rods and shave the crank. balance the engine . THis could quite literally keep going and going and going...........no i simply undersand what you mean. IF you want 400whp its recommended to get forged rods and pistons. If you are going to be under that get custom pistons, main bearings and stronger rod bolts. someone else can fill in or recommend something else i missed.

OK lets say you did want over 400whp what would you do to the engine to make it handle the horse power.

Buy Suneils car. It already does 400 wheels and will save you months of hassle.

Yes I saw that car on e-bay but it didn't meet the reserve. That car is awsome and the buy now price was only 18k. The only problem is I already have a 99csvt with only 26k miles on it.
