If you only want ~200 then an SR redtop would work for you. But if you can fab some of your own parts, then it would be cheaper to do the KA. Me and my dad are welding our own manifold, piping and rebuilding most of the block ourselves. I bought a used intercooler and turbo and just need to buy pistons, JWT ECU, injectors, and an exhuast. So we are looking at spending around $2500 for 250-300 hp @the rear wheels. &nbsp;I'll keep everyone updated on how each step goes, and the money I spent. &nbsp;If you can weld very well, where my dad comes in, then a manifold shouldnot be very hard to make.
