oky doky.. ive got some money saved.. finally.. and anyways I want to get some different opinions on wat i should do wit it. for starters my car is, a VL duh. mods are - extractors zorst 2 1/2 inch supercharged @ 4 psi shaved head port n polished head low range cam timing at 17 deg. -- I have around 700 hundred to spend, maybe more.. I was thinking. 3:9's with a locker. or VLT ecu + bigger injectors and bigger fuel pump etc. Im currently getting a custom pulley made which should give me at least 8 psi solid, which will be plenty. wat yas reckon

I would say the second choice would be best but a locker and boost can be alot of fun. Tough call. Also can it be intercooled? Or is it a suck charger or a blow one cause a mate has a blow one and he was told he cant run a cooler on it is this true?

i doubt it... a blower and a turbo are ultimatley the same thing, one is driven by exhaust pressure one is driven by a belt.. so yes he could run a cooler, i think.

Go the locker and new diff gears. Get all that extra traction aswell as alot more noticable performance!!! Best thing you could ever do!

dont go a locker, just get a 4.11 lsd, bigger injectors sounds good.

larger pulley + intercooler, then later on get a Wolf plug in ECU. you don't want shorter diff gears in my opinion, just ask stromy!

you'll definately want some fuel though if your cranking the boost up. so you'll probably want something to help keep the boost up without you running lean all the time, besides.. you don't want this bigger pulley being useless because theres not enough fuel there. a microtech or some kind of aftermarket management would be ideal, but i'd do the pulley and the fuel before you thought about aftermarket management to an extent. But as stockymcstock says shorter diff gears, wouldn't you just be spinning beyond belief with the faster acceleration from 0-100 etc. if you do get diff gears get them off jet-6 i saw some decent prices when i looked the other day. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
