He's looking for 11's on a fwd if I remember correctly.

272's aren't too big for a 16g _if_ you're just looking for hp, AMS proved this in a dyno test some time ago. sure, you're picking a set of cams that don't match the turbo very well, but if you're okay with sacrificing 30 tq down low for 10 hp up top, it's a viable setup.

your biggest problem achieving your goals will continue to be traction, traction, and reliability in a distant third if you do this properly. I seriously doubt HP will be a concern untill you're really knocking on the door of 11's. So keep that in mind while you debate whether you're better investing in an engine mod or a drivetrain mod. To give an idea, my concentrations would be on drivetrain mods to get those wheels to stick, weight reduction mods, and then, finally, the engine parts to get you 350 whp. If you get your FWD down to 2300 lbs with 350whp and can actually cut something like a 1.9 60', you'll be golden.

The alky and AMS intake manifold are just bad ideas so get them out of your head NOW!
