The extra drag from running longer on the pipes will be substantial? Jesus man, what are you talking about. Your hilarious, thats about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's not silly, there are a ton of fbodies running around with these kits and have been so for a long time. your getting carried away, these things make huge power for less money than other kits and are actually doable for less than 20grand. I gurantee you won't find anyone willing to spend 20k on a turbo kit, hence the reason that is the only turbo 320 in the world. Your logic is lacking throughout just about every thread you post in. Your trying to push everyone to do this, no one is going to spend that kind of money when they can just buy srt6's, and if they want six speeds they will just buy something else. Unless one of the big companies (greddy, hks) makes a turbo kit, no one is going to do this. Derek is swapping an srt6 engine into his six speed car, that is a much more intelligent option. Trust me, once you have the money to do this, you will just buy another car that is faster from the factory and modify that instead. For ten grand my mazda would be running 11 second quarter miles, not saying its a better car, but the crossfire just isn't a good platform to modify (aside from the srt6), but doing an engine swap is a great idea.
