$500 and power from an N/A? Suggestions?
What would you do to a stock 87 GXL with 500 dollars? Ok, well stretch it to 600. Could I make my car faster than a STOCK 87 TII without losing reliability for that amount? My guess would be no, tell me if I'm wrong.

well I have the opportunity to get a turbo car that'll need some work but should be running for that amount or a little more. So I'll go with the conversion

For $600..you probably cant get your car to be faster than a stock T2, unless you can do alot of fabrication. $600 I see being best spent on:
RB Header - $190
Presilencer- $200
CS Catback- $290
Some cone intake- $10-$30
That puts you at over $700 though, but you get the idea. Try and find used items, on the forum, Ebay, etc..
This is all assuming your car is in 100% perfect running condition. If not, money would be better spent on a tune up. PLugs, wires, filters, etc...

and of course the thing is going to be loud as hell isn't it? 
Yeah, I plan on doing some tuning work on it. I might be selling the parts off of it, maybe even with a port job.
Without porting is it even possible to get it that fast without being rather loud?

Not a chance. You "need" to port if you want to match stock tii levels. But $500(ok, $600) is a great start on an engine swap fund. You'll need around 1500-2000 to do it right, but theoretically you could do it for around 1200 I think (using the stock NA drivetrain). Good luck!

My N/A was very quiet, but the key is a good catback system. The 2 previous systems I had were scary loud, especially after my header. Once I got my Greddy SP system on, it was such a difference. Nice mellow tone, not loud at all. Of course Greddy =$$$. I believe my N/A was very quick for not having a port job. The cars Ive beaten with it really suprises me. Of course its no comparison to what my turbo2 was..or will be

Nos! just put some extra welds on your floorpans, they tend to fall off at 175 mph.
Once its in perfect runing condition, a 50 shot wouldnt hurt a thing....except for the local rice.

well rotary revolution has a point,
a nitrous kit jetted to say 35-50 hp would give you a bunch of power, but if you're trigger happy youll go through alot of it. for 600 though you can get a good nitrous kit and a turbo fuel pump on ebay...
for long term reliablity i wouldnt reccomend it though.
