i am buying a RS49 turbo and replacing all my exhaust with custom 3" stainless steel and Apex N1 exhaust and JE Pistons would that put me at about a GST or should i sell my RS for a GST or a GS ?

performance wise I prefer the RS over a GS since its lighter and all.

but with a RS49, pistons,bottom end( basically rebuilt engine) and supporting mods and tuning that will haul ass.it will be way faster than the GS-T(well a stock one)

Yeah i think i was in way over my head so i decided i needed to get some one to help me.
So i found a guy that designs custom engines for Honda Race, i told him i would build a web site for him if he rebuilds my car. The web site is pretty much done and the rebuilding process begins monday i'll keep you guys posted.
