So I've finally worked out all the bugs in the car and its time to make it go fast... er. I'm looking to ultimately get into the 11's with the car. It's a Daily driver too so I need something thats good on the streets. For injectors I'm thinking 009 42.5 lbers. or maybe some MSD 50's, (thoughts on both??) When I had the Tranny rebuilt the guy who did its said he put in a Buick Performance Convertor, he said That GM parts had a stock and performance version listed so he opted for the performance one? This was all he could tell me so can anyone let me know what stall it is and if I should upgrade that as well?? OK so now for the turbo, the two I'm back and forth between are the TA-33 and a TA-49. Jaysgn.com says if I send a core in they'll upgrade it to a TA-49. Has anyone done this before? or a ta-33 from johnsperformance.com as hes pretty close by. Just recently though I found precision turbos website and they have TA-52 and TA-54 listed I think, But is this too much turbo for what I'm doing? Its hard to consider them too, being a good $400 more than a ta33? any opinions/experiences are welcome guys.
 
The 49 will get you in the 11s. The 52 might do it a little easier and it still has good street manners with a mild convertor. Don't bother with the 009s. Go for the 60s. They do everything the 009s do from a great idle, easy to tune, no driver upgrades, and give you a ton of room to grow.
