maybe a turbo for the ol family sedan

hey guys i love my car on the outside and inside but now im like hmmm is intake/exhaust good enuff for me.. i want some speed some ooomf something if i bought a SF turbo w/ all accessories and possibly upgraded my torque converter what would we be looking at compared to where i am at now..

like now i (have auto) wait till i go 25 then floor it and itr drops to 1st and takes off w/ all 101 HP. and i like that feeling what would turbo bring me up to and how would it feel. idk i want speed but i dont want my car to drive like **** or break down incessantly.

I'm leaning more towards building the engine and getting the ported head from DH-racing. It won't break or anything, and there's less stress on the engine and components. All depends on how much speed you need.
