i'd go with a turbo with sf turbo w/ alcohol injection and run it at about 11 psi.
There are other turbo kits you should research and/or possibly thin about going the custom route. SF kits are taking at least 3 or 4 months to get shipped out last i heard.
IMO, i think the sf kit's fuels system is best. They use a FMU to inject more gas using the stock injectors, then add alcohol if you boost more than like 8 psi to prevent detonation.
Search and read the other threads in the F/I forum about it. They're really informative.

if you go turbo, that intake is going to go anyways. You'll want at least a 2.5" exhaust system. Preferbly a 3" exhaust system.
Remember that when you go turbo, the least amount of backpressure from the exhaust system, the better.

You basically inject alcohol (most users here use rubbing alcohol) into the intake. It helps cool down the air, while boosts the octane rating of the gas. This basically prevents detonation and allows you to run more safely.
I think some people converted their windshield washer resavior (sp?) into their alcohol tank.

hmmmm, that's a good idea but u think i could safely run 11 psi on a stock engine, i was lookin at dh-racing stage 4 pnp btw, but the turbo and pnp are the 2 big things, i'm prolly gonna put those dual groove pulleys on them when i get done researching on turbos and such
