New to DSM engines and have a 400hp goal

[lbear_18]

I have been doing a lot of research, but I still have a lot to learn. I recently picked up my 1997 GS-T, and found this site really helpful. I have a 400hp goal and was just looking to get pointed in the right direction as far as picking parts goes. I'm also new to the turbo world so I am reading and listening to everything I can find out. Any info will be appreciated thank you.


P.S.
Also I perfer tuning for acceleration not top end, more of a quarter mile car then a track car, If that helps at all

Yea the tuning section on this site defintly helped alot, I've been lookin at it alot. The car is not my everyday driver so I wanna build it right. Does anyone know of any place specializing in DSM's in CT or RI? Or how about Turbo Trix Racing in NJ are they really good?

I've heard some good and some bad about Turbotrix. I personally wouldn't go to them. I rather do all the work myself.

that car was at the dealer by my house for 2 weeks thats why i asked.
to reach 400hp like every one said search the forums and you will have an idea on what to do, as shop goes i have done work at turbotrix and ehh its ok not the best, and price its very high i recomend dogbox for everything and there work is amazing.

ivey tuning people say he is good but he only does aem,

ask any one one this forums and you will see how manny people say dogbox#1
