[QUOTE="AZSN95SNAKE, post: 12222064, member: 122889"] The general consensus seems to be staying NA and to the original plan until I can afford to build a block. I think that's the smart choice as well. I like to do things right and right now I can't afford to build a block and SC at the same time. I can forsure afford the SC and supporting mods though. yes, can't forget that the stock T45 is not up to the game. I would need to have a replacement ready to go. I'd also need to put in a strong clutch to handle the power. I can't believe Ford skimped on a better tranny and pistons + rods either. Blownbyu: Totally different motor lol. But that's impressive. mark23svt: We think alike. Those were my exact future mods as well. Should be a fun street car. Where are you going to find the march fluid damper? For those of you that guessed, I am rather young (21). I do have lots of time ahead of me that is forsure but I've always wanted to take advantage of my low miles situation and go FI. But than again, I would most likely have a built short block in the future. 97desertCobra: I was wondering why your car wasn't running.
