Hmmm...crossroads
I've already mentioned this to Arnel, but I figured I'd get everyone's take on it. Recently I pulled my motor and all of the turbo stuff out of the Mustang. Originally I'd planned to freshen up the motor (new bearings, gaskets, hot tank, etc.) and clean all of the turbo parts that were getting dirty/rusty. Now I'm wondering if I really need to reinstall all of the stuff. I mean...do I really need 600hp+ on a daily basis? I think I'd be just as happy dropping in an N/A motor making around 400RWHP. Discuss.
Oh...and in case anyone cares, taking the place (temporarily) of the beast motor is a motor dubbed "The Loaner". It's actually mine, but it rarely gets used unless the real motor is out. It's the engine that came with the car with the addition of a cam, carb, and intake manifold. With the exhaust, it probably makes 225RWHP. It's sad really. The motor is dirty as hell, too. See for yourself.
