I am guessing with a stick? Lofty goals if an automatic. Problem with the incon kits is when the boost is cranked up. Keep them around 12psi or less and they are happy. Crank them over 15 and that is when they start to eat themselves up. I have not crushed either of my turbos yet, but I do have 2 spares just in case.

I was thinking you would stay the coyote route. If Kurgans car runs some serious numbers you will be bummed.

I'd love to do the coyote swap but this 331 has to sell first. I figured if I end up using it, I'll go for fun incon power

If I cant dig up an incon kit or manifolds - I'm going to end up with the vortech, I'm sure.

What ever happened to Brian with the Red GT? Didn't he have an ICON kit?
