You have your gauges,intake, and exhaust

How go with valve body, converter, Smarty and small turbo)62/71/14 or 64/71/14 or 62/71/12 or 64/71/12 that will get you to 5-600hp

I would get parts to either boost up your tranny, get a performance box, or get a turbo upgrade....

Make the tranny your top priority. You will thank yourself when you get the Smarty and crank it up. Then a fuel system would be imperative. Turbowise you can get 500-550 toasty hp out of the stocker, after that I agree you need to be looking at a 62 or 64 trim turbo for more air.

Trans.. Above all else. Get as much trans as you can afford at this time. Forsake the power adders until you get a tranny in that thing. You will be soo glad you did.
