I didnt feel at home in the Mach 1. It just wasnt me. Every time i looked at it i didnt see myself in it ( well actually i did due to the reflection, but anyways) and insurance was the same as an 03 cobra, soo not exactly cheap.

Yea ur the one that told me to do a 4v swap. But idk forged bottom end, heads , and cams is a pretty stout 2v 
. Then when you wanna s/c, turbo, nitrous, you can. And if you just want a nasty sounding DD then you have one.
But a 4v swap would be intense.
But i wouldn't just throw a s/c on it. You can't take full advantage of it IMO

I like the looks of that car, I remember that sig picture from before, and love the spoiler-less look. Need a mach 1 chin and some new headlights though lol. You mention a NA 4v build...im not suggesting against it, I'm just letting you know-i talked to a few engine builders and i thought a NA 2v was expensive...the 4v was even more. a fully built NA 4v is EASILY 10k or more. 5k$ JUST for heads and cams. This is straight from John at Modular Performance. He said a built NA 4v will be upwards of 450hp, but it won't come cheap. Now of course it can be done cheaper, I am just giving you a baseline for what a professional shop would charge for the build. Plus you have to think ab out the wiring differences as well. That's a lot of cost. You may be better just boosting the thing ya know?
