beams vs 5sfte Options

[freddy121389]

ok so I've done so much research for the past year mostly because i dont have the funds but within the next couple months i plan on getting my car more power somehow and I'm not sure what to do. My power goal is to get 200-250whp, I have a 5sfe stock with auto tranny and i just want a cruiser with a little kick is all and the stock 5s isnt doing it for me. Now as far as cost a beams swap is a little more pricey than just piecing together a turbo setup for the 5sfte for the 8psi i plan on running, but the beams would be more reliable considering my car has about 86000 miles on it. I just want everyones advice what they think i should do, the 5sfte would cost about 2000$ total for parts, and the beams i plan on buying a front clip from rpmgarage for about 2000 but I plan on getting both installed professionally since it is my daily and I need it to run especially being in the airforce and i travel alot. anyone have any insight to this sorry know this was kinda long

A beams wont get you 200-250Whp easily. I say go turbo, but do it RIGHT, don't cheap out. You shouldn't need to run over 15lbs of boost for your goal, so if its done right it should be pretty reliable. Id talk to manny, Jen and him ran the 5sfte for years without any major issue.
