DD: Yes I <3 the Z.

I just got done TTing my Z and if I had a second Z I would want a different challange. Therefore I'd have to go with a N/A built motor.

Hard to answer this question without knowing what kind of car we are talking about, what kind of reliability it will have boosted and what you want from it.
Doesn't help that I have no clue what car I am buying next and I'm not buying one anytime soon.

Not as easy as that actually. I started down this path with my viper and it led me to the Z as there is VERY SMALL support for going FI on the viper. I guess if your a good wrench like yourself it'd be doable but I was looking at 30-40K to get the supporting mods and TT'n the viper After the price I paid for it I figured I'd never really rail the car so sold it and was gonna buy bigbris car and ended up here. lots of support on these forums for doing this and as much trouble as it is still not close to the cost/hassle of modding domestics.

I have went FI on my last three cars I am a boost junkie. I cant even think about a car without thinking of Blowers or turbos. I want an Armada for my wife and I want to turbo or SC it. boost is worse than crack(i think).
