11s would be sweet man and 5300 will defenitly reduce ur time

as for a cam you dont need a more radical cam stock cams are the next best thing unles you can get a hold of some turbo grind cams

and the trans is not much u can do with i would look into a LSD thats about it. I wouldnt do the 4.02 gears or whatever they are if you going to daily drive it

well im getting custom made cams, turbo grind, and as far as trans, im getting a diff, and going with the 4.02 gears, im thinking with the dyno tune, i should make sum good power, possibly up the boost even

mlbbaseball · 10-30-2009, 08:59 PM

just get some FR3's, they are very good for boost!! and remember, ur head can only take so much!

PSIaddict · 10-30-2009, 10:23 PM

4.02 gears will be really crapy for highway and daily driving,
and the FR3 cams i was told you have to do some mod to the head and they idle really rough, not sure how they would act on a turbo, but for turbo you need duration not lift, and if you dont have the duration you can leak boost on you cams

mlbbaseball · 10-31-2009, 12:13 AM

i'm not sure if u stated it wrong, but w/ turbo, u don't want duration, otherwise you get overlap and blowby of boost out the exhuast side. FR 3's don't require mods, anything larger does!!

ferkozx3 · 10-31-2009, 08:05 AM

well im having custom cams done, they will be just a little more radical than the stg 2 turbo cams already out, and as far as the gears im not totally sure on if thats the choice yet, i just know im gonna have to beef up my trans some how

def. do not go with the 4.02s. you will be so wound out if you take it on the highway. instead of cruising around 3k @ 80mph in 5th, it would be more like 4-4.5k. not good unless you like rebuilding your motor all the time. it's fine when it is just in quick spurts like on a drag or road course, but if you are going to be driving it on the hwy, it won't take the sustained rpms for very long.

yea i might stay stock gear ratio, idk what i can do to beef up my trans, this is number 3 for me now :(
