4 grand is my limit for the winter... I will also do all the work. I refuse to ever pay anyone to do any sort of engine work except build a short block or rear end gears! I trust my work but I trust a warranty better for those two things! lol

Procharger or Novi2000, just something different than the average vortech and well under the price of a KB!







Don't forget to vote! Thanks

Blower, however the sucky part about the Novi is that you have to peice together your own kit, as they don't offer the 2200 in bolt on form for us. It is an awesome blower though :behind:

I'm just going to follow you around the web and tell you to go with the 4v and s/c next year. Sell the pi engine while it is still worth something and in good shape and go from there. Hell like I said on the other forum it is possible to do it all right now if you play your cards right.

HAHA... I think it's your input thats keeping the debate open! lol Almost everyones told me to do a S/C till my motor blows up. No matter what I will have a S/C so it seems only logical that I buy one now. I don't know when I'll have 4 grand to buy one individual part again. When I finally start to build the 4v I'll be able to do it in pieces and not be breaking the bank all at once. I'll have it to start building within the year but at least this way I'll still be able to drive the crap out of my car. Then swap it in one day and get the King of the Street title up here in my car club! Show and Go! Thanks for your help btw. You helped decide that no matter what I want a 4v.

My only point is your pi engine is actually still worth something. If you s/c it now it will be worth dog ass later on. Plus you will have a s/c for a 2v which you will have to replace a lot of things (brackets, piping, bolts, tune) for a 4v. If you buy the 4v now you can sell the pi engine and start saving for the s/c for the 4v!!!! I know it's not instant results like s/c now but you'll be a lot happier and save a lot of money and trouble in the long run. The only real reason I'm pushing like this is this is what I really wish I would have done now. Just bought a 4v and turbo'd it.
