my car is a 1980 sa. at a cost stand point a turbo 12a would be my best bang for the buck. i probably wouldn't go more then 10 psi max. i was told 8 to 10 psi is safe to run on a 12a(motor) thats not a 12at.but people have run higher boost. also id be useing a o.e.r setup with the rotary shack intake. any ideas how much power that would make. would my stock trans take it if i rebuild it or should i look for another. what would you recommend.

i am not trying to build drag car or any thing like that so i dont care about big hp number. i am not going to be doing burn outs or hard launches. i daily drive this car during the summer so i dont beat on it as is any ways. i am mainly looking for a bit more power.
