[jlee29]

Ok here is my current setup. I found a great deal on a new gt2871r .64 turbo, I was going to put cams, valves, Ras ect.. with the head.

First, your post would be easier to follow(subject wise) if you didn't list every part of your sound system, rim and tire selection, gauges, and who cares about what front end you have in a post about an engine, all of that is irrelevant to your question.... Second, rocker arm stoppers are a waste of money, all they do is increase the chance of breaking your rocker arm when the equally ****ty hydraulic lash adjusters fail.

To really give you an answer your question lacks more relevant information, like power goals, purpose of the vehicle, etc.

If your looking for a little more power then sure, the 2871r is the way to go. Your t28 will fetch enough for cams.

Keep the flaming of his mods to a minimum. I will delete all non-helpful posts.

JLee, you will probably help us out with just performance mods listed. I honestly just passed that list because it was so long.

why not buy the 2871r, then sell the turbo....you should be able to get about 400-450 dollars for it. Thats enough to get cams and some rocker arm stoppers.

But looking at your setup, you will be more happy buying the turbo.
