you might want to beef up the suspension.

but,are you sure its gonna be enough?you might want
to get some nos with that,maybe a few thousand cubic yard shot would do.

haha I was going to use NX kit but the bottle would have been to big. and looking at it now i think im going to have to use a rear mount turbo because engine bay space is going to be real limited! what do you think my 1/4 mile time would be?

well,probably about 1 rpm should get you down the track,so
1 second.

maybe 2.

but im telling ya,your gonna need some heavy duty suspnsion
work,maybe something of a sherman tank,or a train.

and with that you would want a super,the turbo would lag to much.

This is at least 3 years old, and completely unrelated in any possible way to engine swapping in a 3rd gen f-body.
