So... wait, you're gonna spend like a GRAND to shave a SECOND off your time to beat your friend to win $40.00. I'm not a financial expert but that just sounds plain stupid. :1

I've turboed plenty of cars knowing damn well that I'm going to lose hundreds, if not thousands.

yeh, the plan is to build a fast car. How many people here are looking to build their car because they want to win a bet, i want a faster car.
I am at 163 making 2-3 psi with the turbo i have now (14b with a relocated wastegate that i think is causing my low boost problem) i already have plans to buidl the car.
My friend thinks his car is going to be faster, if i get mine faster he'll give me $40 and i have a faster car than his $28,000 2004 mach one (that he spent over $1000 on just a new exhaust, and tuning) I want my $6000 del sol to kick his V8 ***, it's mostly for pride, bragging rights, to show a couple of ford guys why i swear by hondas.

15.4 really isn't bad for a N/A LS in a EG hatch. You should be able to beat him with a solid turbo setup on a stock LS.
