Default Would you rather>???

I was wondering I am probably going to do something major engine wise to my car once I get it all paid off. So what would you rather do. Put a fully built 6 in the car so I can push 20psi of boost, or put a GT500 engine in there and call it good. Which do you think you be cheaper. I will have to change the tranny and rear end either way I go so......not sure what to do. Don't know if I should stay 6 and how a ton of power or go with the 8 and have that much more. I guess I could also put a built 4.6 in it too. I don't know what to do? Need opinions, what would you do?

I've seen that video before... the question is, how in the hell would that pass inspection? I'd love to run a carb block in my car, but I'd be worried about rolling it through the lane.

Building the 6 will be way cheaper. The GT500 drivetrain will cost you about $25k all in all, not to mention the cost for dropping it in. Building the 6's drivetrain will probably cost about $15k, and you will make more power.

Ha that's awesome well I guess if I am going to spend the money I might as well make it my own, but who know by the time I get the money for this project we all might have cars that fly by then!!![sm=sigh.gif]
