You can retain stock like drivability and milage (I average 26.5 mpg on my last trip to chicago) and have tons of potential in the future. The extra 2-3 grand is more than worth it for the twins
That right there is the reason I would be jealous of all the 3.5L builds lol...

I couldn't believe the milage, but did the math on the fillup.

don't be too jealous though, around town with 15 psi and a heavy foot, I see around 13 mpg.

I suggest stay with NA, and spend the money on something else. There's always a chance the engine will blow, for any reasons.. get a plenum, pulley, exhaust, intake, etc.. if you ever want to trade in your car, it's easier to remove the hardwares. I was in the same shoes, but unless you have 10k to spend, don't even think about it..

Yea, I guess I will try to keep looking. I have about 6k set asided for this... and alot of people are telling to "save more". The problem is I don't want to spend more than I am allowing myself (to prevent a money pit and credit debt for myself). Chances are that I am going with a Vortech SC. I got a quote for a tad over 6k that includes the full kit, utec, and installed. So I am gogin to spend another month talking to owners. SO be warn VORTECH owners and vendors. I will Be PM/Calling you to gather information.
