Thanks for the help just wanna figure out if I wanna go N/A or Forced Induction.

how deep are your pocket?

if theyre really really really deep... go n/a
if theyre just a little deep... go turbo.

three things you need to consider when modifying your car.

1. what do you want. (etc nitrous or turbo)
2. how much money are you willing to spend.
3. what are your power goals.

once you have can answer these, you can start doing your build.

^+1 and as for your power goals be reasonable example 600hp isnt reasonable for your first build

Im looking to make at least 245hp and my pockets are just a little deep. I wanna go the turbo route but im scared on how reliable it would be.

Reliability is all in the tune. Take is to John at LOWE and you'll be more than fine.

Jeff / ModTheSol has been running 300+whp on his stock GSR now for SEVERAL years and when Gateway was open, he never took it easy on that car.

You'll be fine, just fon't go to any other tuners that say they are the best.
