Good thing is it wouldn't need to make much boost on this motor or need an intercooler with all that piping out in the open air.
the cost of fabricating headers for this car is insane, like about $2000, this is why it's mounted in the rear, for economic reasons and simlicity. I myself think a vortec supercharger is a smarter design ,but your giving up hp with parasitic drag, so you might only put out 280hp vs 310hp with the turbo.
