not fun. if i owned a 3g i'd definatly go Supercharger... there aren't nearly as many SC cars out there as there are TC and i like to be unique. This is the reason for looking at 02-03 Cobra's when i was looking at new cars, and sorry to say i'd definatly be "trading" on the whole import scene by getting a personalized license plate saying "IETRICE" lol but along w/ my 2.4l KB, i don't think anybody would argue when i whine by them though.

i wouldnt go SC on a 3g. You get way better response out of the TC. So when you say unique, kinda like TCing a 420a . Unique isnt always good

I've already decided that I'm going to Turbo Charge it. Should I try to buy a blown motor for like 100 bucks or something, or go to my local junkyard and pick up a motor for $550 that they "say" runs?"

glad to hear that =D youll see more of a power increase and efficiency with the TC then the SC. and for the motor... just go to tearstone.com.. get that short block or long block.. OR you could buy mine tehe... i decided to go with the 3.5 switch over.

if you are planning on fulllllly building this motor than there's no use in paying more for a running one when ur gonna be replacing everything anyways. Just try to find a blown one. Then let the parts flow in

Why are you switching over to the 3.5?

Lmao, I don't have that kind of money, or much at all. My mother has Cervical Cancer and has been out of work for a few months so I'm paying the bills and have been for a while now. She won't be back at work until late may... So it will be a much longer time before I can afford pretty much anything...
