You need to research. You won't be twin turbo'ing and if you want to add a supercharger you will need everything from the heads up on that L67, research "top-swap" on any W-body forum and you will find all the information you will need.

I'd do the twin turbo, should be about the same amount of work right?

The car was too fast for the owner and was totaled.

I'm sorry, but that's absolutely insane. The Z3 turbo kit from zzp is only $2500 + a set of used L67 injectors, and would make WAY more power.

Heck, add another grand on that, and you could straight up buy a used 97, 98, or 99 gtp (with about 100k miles).

Well I have been researching the same thing for about a month now and DO NOT go with a S/C they use to much power just to push power...... Now with a twin turbo its just straight raw power and they make kits that bolt right up to the stock motor so you wouldnt need to change anything...... look it up on www.horsepowertv.com trust me you want the twin turbo I am putting a 383 stroker in my 1986 Monte with a twin turbo setup and when i finally do all the upgrades to the suspension and drive train i can push close to 1500 ponies
