Keep it under 25 lbs of boost and timing - and keep your credit limit about the same - youll need it

You ready to be confused?

None... As much as you want...

There all different. They have popped with a extra 2 LB's And there is a few running in the 11's on a stock block. It all depends on the tune.
And for some reason people are getting more boost safely from a turbo. But there will be people dispute this.

In short.... generally 450HP is about max. (IMHO)

You will have the most fun if you just leave it stock and drive it.

Don't do any HP mods until it is paid for and have an extra $10k in the bank for a new motor.

it was left to me when my father past away in september of this year, it cost $45.20 to get it transferred into my name. So mods and insurance are the only things I got to worry bout!!

Okay, but be careful.
Many new L owners wreck them or blow them up in the first few months.

especially this time of year, with the cold air.. you should be ok with it being stock, but I would still avoid long wide open throttle runs..

Welcome!!
