First, decide what your plan for the car is. If
you're going to commute to work and go to Wal Mart for
groceries, you don't need much. Consider a used
motor from the bone yard.
OTOH, if you're planning some serious drag strip
efforts, you'll need to spend a few more bux.

See that's odd, I see little difference between the two in terms of
"needed power."

Yeah, now that you mention it, I think you're right! :)

Why not try JSB? They are new, but have a lot more at stake in
*your* particular engine than most other companies do.

Thanks, do you know their website by any chance? What's your opinion on
ATK?

I appreciate the help.
