Sweetness! Now, does the placement of the stickers factor into these whp gains? I assume that placing them on the hood, directly over the engine, would give me the greatest hp increase?

if you put them on the door you'll become a better driver.

I was actually just re-re'ing them and fixing some leaks. They're already kick ass turbos. Going to a big single is uneccessary because these turbos can achieve my 600hp goal and not have a ton of lag.

This is generally the best place for stickers, so when thieves are looking to break into a car they can view the menu of parts first. :D

Its definitely not turbo; but it is a chevy. One of those cars I told myself I'd never drive; but sold the lude; paid off most of my bills and now i've got a dedicated winter beater. Chevy Celebrity 2.8 with the rare 5sp

modded a couple more tools into my garage, a new control arm on the Celica as well as the winter Yoko's on stock rims. Kyle and Kimmy also painted a green pinstripe onto her old K Car.

oohh damn. sometime within the next year or two i'll be building up something like a third gen, probably drop a built engine into my current bird for testing and finding a rust free shell. i'd only go as large as a 383 as i'd have to DD it

Dropped the fuel tank, and I am in the midst of throwing in a new Fuel pump, strainer and filters. Not what I wanted to be doing on the beater, but its gotta get done and is easier than going to PYP to drop a pump out there for a pump that I dont know the condition.
