IMO, it is a waste of time to swap an HR or an SR motor. Minimal gains with a bunch of headaches.
Thanks.

I'm definitely not swapping for a HR. That's plain stupid. I was mentioning (above) purchasing a 07 Z for the HR. (^_^) It's still a possibility.

That's a different story. Purchasing another car with the motor in it already is definitely a better option.

So you really don't even need the Hp you just want it for bragging rights, you run your car in BSP, just spend the money on parts needed to make it faster in BSP.

After talking it over with Joe from East Coast Customs (formally Sage), I know what to do.

Thanks for the input all.

Thanks for the concern.

I found a seller of a prime DE with a powerlabs kits already installed. That was basically Joe's advice: Look online for a built Z and save yourself the time and money. Of course NOT ALL Zs are built the same so I'm going to conduct through inspections first.

Glad that's over....

That car seems underpowered for the kit on it.

Sage Auto moved.. But if you go to there new location they can talk everything through with you and make anything happen. They have Fabricators in house which can complete what you need.

They are doing an LS1 S14 right now. as well some other crazy projects.. And Joe was never the owner of Sage Auto.

That's re-garage's (probably spelled his name wrong) place right? I'll check it out eventually.

Yeah, Joe, told me about the Sage/East Coast Customs situation.
