I've been saving my $$$ for some big mods as soon as my warranty is up, and I've been wondering...

I plan on getting the Gude head package first, followed by a stroker kit when one becomes available. I want to still be able to run on pump gas, but after those two are done will a turbo be feasible? I read that the Gude package is for N/A only, but the problem could be solved with a new cam...correct? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I've been thinking about the Gude package as well.... In addition to porting and polishing the head, they also mill a little off, which increases your compression to something like 11:1 (not totally sure on that number). Running a turbo with comperession that high and pump gas will lead to lots of little pieces. BUT you could get a new head from Gude until a turbo comes out, then put a thicker gasket in to reduce compression......

FI will probably work just fine with the Gude package, except for the milling and the cam.

other than milling the head, you will be good to go with a turbo. you can't mill the head cause, like someone mentioned before, compression that high combined with FI will reduce your engine to tiny pieces.

I wonder if the stroker kit after the head job will put me in the 200hp range. If so, then a turbo wouldn't be neccessary for wasting ricers on the street...but it sure would be nice.
