Like they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I'm just looking around at the moment, would like to see if anyone wants to trade for my Talon once I get it running here in the next few weeks. If not, I'll just sell it and pick one up.

Been mulling the idea of selling or parting the GT out... If you decide to go the 4 banger route let me know...

Also the four bangers normally Cosmetically iffy but structurally great. Hard to beat up on torque boxes and tweak frames with the pavement pounding 80hp they layed out lol

why would he want to go slower than a cam only 5.3, have less parts availability, and spend more money?

LS is the way to go IF you are against SBF.
