I've researched the info and it seems to have a lot of great parts and work done, he also included all receipts with the car for machine work and parts. Just want some insight on my options are and power(Reliable as possible). Was thinking od doing some roll racing and whatnot wit the car and maybe street drive on occasion. It will be a garage queen other than that....

Youll be able to max out that turbo in your sleep. 450-500hp, 400-450tq tq the wheels.

Id sell that turbo and buy something bigger. The only thing youll have to worry about it lifting your head under boost. This starts to happen around 600hp unless you get oversized headstuds.
 
It sounds like a really nice car. The chassis has been completely redone very similar to mine. The s259 turbo maxes out at 60lbs/min I've read so that's a pretty solid turbo. What's the price? Pretty impressive parts list.

What are a good set of head studs?

I got the car for around 5K value in trade.
 
Walen Speed R & D....John is a DAM good tuner!!!
 
I'd be cautious of anything with DSM Graveyard's name on it. I had a semi bad experience ordering from them years ago and there are countless other stories.
Having said that, maybe they pulled their shiit together and are better now.
Lastly, I would highly suggest refraining from street racing. Especially since you have Milan not far from you.
Good luck with the car!

Didn't plan on street racing...I planned a Roll racing event and occasional track event. I'm 36 years old with a immaculate driving record.
 
Heres a sneak
