I can do all this over the next 6 months working as a contractor in Afghaniland.
Alright, now with the stock block I know that running 93 octane I should be wary of trying to go over 450whp. Would it still be cheaper if I upgraded my engine and pushed the Stillen harder with more boost instead of going the TT route to achieve the same power? Even with a TT at some point you will have to upgrade the engine. Hypothetically, with an impeller upgrade and pushing 12 psi with a built engine what would be some results that you think I could achieve? Would it even get close to competing with any twin turbo builds out there?
Also, I know a lot of people have older Stillen kits, but for those who have purchased kits this year; should I still replace the BOV that comes with the kit?

You'll never be able to come close to the amount of torque that a turbo puts down. I have the stillen SC with every other supporting mods that stillen makes and I'm at 440whp and 327tq with a custom tune of course. I'm happy with the kit however I'm going TT this winter via AAM's new borgwarner set up. I just want more power! I'll be selling my kit w/the 9lb pulley in about a month or so.
