That engine only makes sense if you simply *have* to stay NA for some racing class. It makes *no* sense for the street.

That kind of money will buy you a very nice GT35-based setup that will stomp all over that J's motor. Although 320hp (crank, of course) *is* impressive. I wonder if it can use pump gas?

$10k + a F20C/F22C do not worth 320hp. They'll probably take your trade-in motor and sell it for another $10k. It's a total

Even after taking the time to edit your post, this makes no sense.

It's a race built motor. It's worth the 10+core... I think some of you guys are failing to see the bigger picture. Mugen charges the same, other smaller companies who build racing motors charge about the same as well. Most don't include the core but hey, in this case they do. You are not going to get a race built motor for less than 8-10k, it's not going to happen.

Agreed, but the general consensus I feel is if you are going to spend 10K on engine modifications FI is going to get you the best bang for the buck.
