I say find a Mercedez board (if you havent already) and find some people who have done what your thinking about doing and ask some questions to try and learn from their mistakes (if any) and their setups. Here are somethings to think about. How much boost are you gonna run? If you want to run only 2psi more then maybe you dont need to go through an engine buildup. What are the limitations of the stock engine and your current fuel system? If its bullet proof (like the Supra 2jz-gte) then you can run gobs of power before having to strengthen her. Will the Tranny be up to the increased Hp? What about tuning? Just a few things to think about. Hope I helped some.

I need a new cd to as the ones I have been listening too are getting old should I research how the music industry works too before going out and buying a new cd?
No but doing a little research wouldnt hurt.
Rob made a great point asking a question on a message board only presents you with the opinions of others. If you were a long term member of this board you would be better able to gauge the abilities and experience of people offering advice here but you are not and run the possibility like Rob said of taking the advice of someone who has no clue as to what they are doing. If you want to modify your car youve got to be responsible and do it correctly. That involves research not just going to message boards and hoping that people give you all the information you need.
