Engine swap vs TT VQ
OK....so this is a daily driver, hauling kids around.
Any kind of engine swap or even a built VQ for that matter is a hazard to your family. Not the smartest thing in the world.
Bolt on a vortech and call it a day, unless you enjoy being stuck on the side of the road or exposing your kids to fire hazards...

^ If family are gonna occansionally ride in it i would say do whatever you want. But this sounds like it's his DD, and Vortech with a good tune is safe and ups the power nicely for the street. He also won't have to re-mortgage his house to get it. I am just tryin to give an honest opinion, so OP isn't in the doghouse when his family car is down for all the things that come with all out performance builds.
Stop the dreamer threads
We dont care what you decide on
We dont care that in 2011 you may go ST or TT
Thinking ahead...
We dont care when you ordered your FI kit
We dont care what shop it's going to (yet)
We dont care what whp you want
We KNOW that you wanna run 10's with an $8000 budget and no prior drag experience
Post a thread when it is all said and done with....provide pics, dyno numbers, driving impressions, shop review, etc, THEN you will have contributed to the community and not wasted my time in reading this crap or in writing this response.

Talking about titan? or Z? Could explain more about re-mortgage? and vortech?
Ah I missed the Titan post. Than go ahead and build away. O and the remortgage comment, last time I checked doin boost the right way on a Z/G isn't cheap. That was sarcasm, I will refrain from using it.

LOL, I'm glad nothings changed the last few months while I have been away. I love this forum (no sarcasm involved). I deserved that for not fully reading the content. You got me Chef.

There is a new Z06 vette advertised at the local Chevy dealerfor 61k. If you turbo or swap the motor on your Z you will never get the money back thus the upgrade is a total loss. If you want real power & dependability with a warranty, get the vette. It runs 11.7 in the 1/4 miles at 123 mph which are numbers that are hard to compete with. It handles well too.

if you have a 05 or older and you really want an LSX motor. sell your Z and buy a C5 02+ Z06. you'll literally have saved thousands, probably close to 10k as opposed to doing a swap. use that 10k to supercharge the z06. Game over. why jerry rig a 350z LS2 when you can have a car with an LS3?
lol @ the people who think an LS2 swap wou ld be easy, reliable, and never have any issues.
If your goal is reliability, always boost the factory motor before swapping something else in.
