If you were going to the track I'd say turbo and an auto, if its mainly just a street car pretty hard to beat the twin screw. I'd just enjoy and drive it, even going 2.9 your not going to pick up any huge gains 60 to 80 hp.

how deep are you pockets?

the turbo will be fun because it can be turned up with the click of a dial.

I was in your shoes 4 years ago. either do a 3.4l whipple or get the 76mm precision turbo with dual ball bearing and billet wheel. yes the turbo will make more power but the whipple will be more fun from red light to red light.

your call but think long and hard unless you just have 20k+ to blow....

Sounds like you have a pretty sick setup already! Not sure what your goals are with the car though.

Any interest in a second project vehicle? More toys with different characteristics.

the 3.3 would be cool and unique but i would not go that route as they are no longer in production. votech is not even offering replacement parts and there is a limited pulley selection.

2.9l is the best choice.

Would you guys jump to a polished unit or keep the black theme?

I would keep the black theme, polished units are a PITA to keep looking sharp. That being said, it would look sharp

Likewise, I also wanted a 3.3 Lysholm but the thought of them being out of production made me go with a 3.4 whipple.
