Even though the GT42 may have better power potential wouldn't you like to see what the TA can produce?

Yes of course I would , but the hard work , persistance , blood , sweat and tears required would be the same either way . If there is the possibility of getting a better pay back with the GT42 , I'll go that route. The change may not even happen ' since I havent herd anything from the guy yet , everything is still up in the air. If he doesnt get back to me by the time I'm ready to put my motor back in I'll stick with my turbo .

We put the GT42R on a large street port with 430 gears , and the car runs like a shifter cart.
We are still breaking it in, but so far its the most fun car yet that we have built. We are still
only running 1.2 bar to break in, but so far at about 5000rpm all hell starts breaking loose.
