Questioning my car situation
I hate to post loaded questions, but-
I've had my 400 for a year now. It's an awesome car. But, I really want a stick shift and a lot more power.
I don't know of any shops around here capable of installing turbocharger systems, so I will have to do most of the work myself. No big deal there, I just won't sell my car till the turbo one is working well.
Should I buy a 300 5-speed and turbo it? What does the whole project require money and parts wise (transmission swap. etc)?
On boost does power come early or late?
I honestly wonder if I shouldn't just dump the whole deal and get a big block crate motor and a '67 Camaro.
Bleh.
