FB newbie.. have some Qs

Hey all, I'm considering buying an FB.

I was wondering which would be a better bang for my buck...

a 13B turbo in an FB, or say a chevy v8?

Thanks, lemme hear your comments.

Chevy v8 = It WILL make your car unbalanced and it will never handle like it should.

13B Turbo = Go for it.

13B turbo is alot of fun in an FB.

It is true that the balance would be greatly affected, alot more money would be spent on suspension as well as engine work.

It is hard enough tuning an engine, much less an engine AND suspension.
