I've heard rumors of 274 cams. Any truth to this?

Sounds very cool.
A quick question, I'm hoping to do the turbo install without
changing cams. I will be very happy with 350 whp. I don't
think that will be a problem with stock cams?

The stock cams work great with the WORKS Turbo kit.

Is there a big difference in power when running the stock cams vs the 269s? Furthermore, would it be recommended to use the Aperture with the turbo kit? Does the improved air flow the Aperture allows make a noticable difference with the turbo kit? Do you guys recommend the water injection with the turbo kit or not?

I just want to know if their is a quantifiable difference between a turbo kit with an aperture vs without. I would say it is obvious there is a difference, but how much? The Aperture makes an 8 - 9 whp difference on a car with the stock turbo, but is the hp gain even higher on a car with a big GT30?

I am sure it will much highr gain. since you have more air going now. Even the exhaust will have a bigger play here

So I'm thinking the kit will come with the following parts:
turbocharger (GT30R or GT35R)?
wastegate
downpipe
lower charge pipe
bigger injectors
re-flash
I'm not sure though, with the bigger injectors are we going to need to upgrade
the fuel pump?

Exclamation

Stock exhaust manifold and no new fuel pump needed. WORKS has been running this turbo kit on their car for a while now without a new fuel pump and no issues have arisen.

One thing I personally recommend if you are going to buy the WORKS turbo kit is new brake pads. The stock Brembo pads seem good for one or two stops, but as people have witnessed on the track - they will fade.

Personally, i rather get a new pump put in at the same time although as jansolo mentioned, Works did not have any problems with the stock pump.

How about financing? I'm sure this kit wont be cheap. It will be alot easier to sell these kits if they can hook up with a finance company that would make this kit available in payments. Putting it on the credit card wont do my credit score any favors.
