I didn't realize how Impressive just a few Bolt on could be...

True very true, I am just getting ready for turbo but some parts must go and I will lose some $$ on them but oh well that is life. I want to build the engine 1st then buy turbo kit, I dont want to go boom.NA is fun but you always want more after you get the bug, just my opinion.

But I wish you all the best with your family SQ40!! Be blessed...and may you be able to get your Z later on down the road.

Doh! didn't think of that, thank you.
I'd rather go NA mods first til they run out since it's reliable and there's no turbo lag. When the time comes and I have more money than I know what to do with, IT's TURBO TIME!

If you saved for an FI system, you would have missed out on much of the process for all that other time. Even with FI, you would eventually get used to the power level, then want more. It never stops.
I hear you.... theres no such thing as too much power!... I want FI because I havent done it before... but you can only have soo much power, then what? The max speed limit on the freeway is only 70mph
