After seeing threads like this I wonder why I have such a problem cutting up my CSX. At the end of the day, its just a car right?
More pics.....
Looks like it will be quite the performer... Lots of solid parts going into it! I think the key to making it all work like it should will come down to the tune, IMHO. In the mean time, I'll be sitting in the peanut gallery with all the others.

Look what Carroll did to his #001. Hans Herman head, a555 tranny, roll bar and I'm sure many other mods...
Albeit he did just buy a 6k mile all original 86 GLHS to remember what they looked like from the factory but I digrese.
The GLHS was one of the fastest production cars in it's day keeping up with a Ferarri 348GT around the race track...
Should I really be getting passed on the track by a Mazdaspeed 3? Time to mod.

Nice build! I do agree that the GT30 is too big fro what you want. Now if you were aiming for 100 more hp, then you'd be on the right track IMHO. Those with actual experience can say for sure a bit better than I can.
how did u make that front air dam? looks cool!
You should take a look at Renaldo's setup. He had a big turbo etc. and he used every bit of it for road racing. IIRC he made over 400HP to the wheels.
i ran 13.6 @ 107 on 14psi with my 2.2 GT30 G head setup...
im going to say that the car was around 250whp.
your gonna have to turn up the boost some more to break 300whp. and dont worry about the turbo being responsive, just do not let them rev's fall under 4500 and you will have great throttle response

Truck spoiler that Reeves turned me onto. Hopefully I'll be attached a custom made air splitter to it so it will look similar to this one:

Man! hurry up and get this car done already!
I'll take 2 of the Tungsten Alloy knobs!! Only $455 EACH!! OUCH!!
Chevy S10 air dam for the 80's early 90's. AFAIK I'm the 1st one to use it on a TD. I have one on my GLHT, ShelbyZ, and New Yorker. My mom's acclaim had one, and a friend had one on his Minivan. I think I turned Terry onto one for his van as well. I suggested it to Reeves when he was having 4th gear traction problems at the track to keep the air out from under the car lifting the front end.
Mike I think you need to update the pic of your turbo in post #1 Or you stole that one out of my garage and I haven't found out yet.
