Great engine, good on power, but don't expect to chase down Z06 vettes and WS6 Trans Ams with a stock ecu, stock 370cc injectors, stock AFM, and stock T2-poop because it ain't that type of party-animal. Investment is the key to having serious fun and all can be done on an intenally stock motor if you invest in the fundamentals of which turbocharged cars live by (Fuel, engine control, adequate turbocharger, and a adequate intercooler).

Get a piggyback or standalone system... then go to a good shop and get it tuned. Where do you live because here in GA and around... balanced performance is the place to go.
