The 80's Turbo Dodges can be made crazy nuts in general. About 8 years ago I worked at an oil change in high school and that was the big thing to build there cuz it was cheap and parts were plentiful. I never had one due to owning my '76 Camaro but we did have guys in the shop owning a turbo Spirit, Daytona Shelby Z at 300 hp, and a Shelby Charger than ran a consistent 12.8-12.9 at our local track. And for some reason all of those had had at least 1 if not 2 or 3 GLH's at home to steal parts from hahaha those were fun days.... Another guy also had a turbo Geo Metro with the turbo from a Suzuki Swift, but that car was still slow as balls lol

Some of the articles on the sema sonic from GM state it has a stage kit of some kind. More details should be out soon
Sounds out like they're coming out with more than a turbo upgrade (or tune).
Sounds like intake, exhaust, tune, brakes, suspension, and wheels.

And unless the dude misspoke, its all coming out in 2014!

interesting! Gee, they're stealing my tinted chrome idea, now their new performance offering looks like your average SOF build thread. Sounds like Chevy Performance has been spending quite a bit of time here.

I like the closed intake box they are running. Exhaust (pass... ZZP/MPFab/Solo have that locked down value per dollar wise) Wheels... pass. Brakes... will probably cost an arm and a leg. The engine tune sounds interesting. Id like to see how aggressive they go. (for those not wishing to play roulette with their warranty)
According to the catalog, the exhaust and "stage kit" yield an extra 10hp and 15 tq. Didn't see a number on the intake. Looks like they've done just what you said: simply allowed the mods to do their thing.
