Don't excatly know what boost, previous owner told me 12psi.Ta Edited 19/09/11 05:57 AM by xr6_2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll get you into the 12's easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A convertor for the 4 speed will dip you deep into the 11s.Keep in mind the Ba engine can last a long time, or they can go bang when getting to 300+rwkw.Also you will definately need a good transcooler as the 4 speed will be the first to go when getting up to this power level.($3000)ish.Up to your budget really, your better off talking to your tuner about what you want to achieve and see the pricing of it all.
