Why not be on both boards ? One is for all Fords, the other is for Probe, MX-6, and 626. Anyway are you going to have the ZE rebuilt ? If you do all of that you should be in the 12's, maybe high 11's.

Where you gona put a turbo in an ATX??? plus you should combind you KLZE with the KL03 cause the compression in the KL03 is more turbo freidnly and you get more power out of KL03 istons!!! figue maybe 185-190 HP with KLZE using 03 pistons... get boost for about 275-280 HP and say safely a 50 shot.... 12 anyways!!! GOtta find a place for the turbo to mount though!!!

Good point, forced induction hates high compression engines.

Take your KL03 and rebuild it with forged pistons (9.5 to 1 compression or so) and get forged rods and have everything balanced extremely well. Port your heads and intake manifold, and gasket match them. Get some nice long duration camshafts. Upgrade your fuel system, and install a T04 turbo, with all of it's necessary components. Also upgrade your ignition. 3 inch exhaust. Do some suspension work, and get 8 inch wide slicks. Dump the ATX, install a 5 speed with a 6 puck clutch and a lightened flywheel.

Then you can pray that your transmission won't break.

After all that, you'll hit your goal. I wouldn't get the TKT turbo though, I would just do a little research and buy the components myself. You'll have to have some items custom made and stuff, but it will still be higher quality and most likely cheaper, not to mention it will perform better. I haven't really heard anything good about the TKT turbo kits for probes.
