Took my friend Shannon today to go get a tire for her camaro. She won't go anywhere alone.Walmart told her 85-125. I got it for $23. would of been 72.16 If she got a brand new Michelin w/warranty. Anywayz I knew one of the guys there form a car club I use to be in and he was talking about his friend in his supra and his other friend who was trying to sell a turbo. He told me it was only on for one run and then taken off. T-66 for $400. Don't know if he still has it but that sounds like a hell of a deal to me or am I mistaken?

Would it be better for me to turbocharge my sohc or my dual. Sounds like a good price to me for the turbo just wanted some opinions.

There are probably more options for the DOHC, but there are quite a few SOHC's running boost now as well.

I see that dohc has more parts easier to get. But lookign at which I could expect to get the most power out of. DOHC has more power than SOHC but have heard arguments with all engines than SOHC is better than DOHC when turbocharging. I already have a SOHC engine with transmission. But trannies work on both engines so worse come worse I'll have an extra engine which i can throw in if anything happens.

Going crazy with this project ready to spend but wanting to keep my current one styling.Keep spending money on it because i drive it everyday. I could easily rebuild the sohc then turbocharge the dohc but i'm wanting to have a KA24ET but not if the dual wiil be a lot faster. I mean is there going to be much difference?I got school and work next 2 days so ill be gone till thursday.

i belive there is more potential with the dohc. if anything i think jsutthe fact that theres more valves is enough, so you can get the air flowing. look up T66240 or T66240sx on freshalloy.com he running a t66 and making tons of power to say the least
