basically I was going to purchase a '93 ST185 RC, but now I am going to possibly get another engine to build up, and my question is what are the differences between different model 3sgte's?

Which engine would be the best choice for me, I can get a ST185 RC for around $2200, or a plain ST185 or ST215(engine,ECU,harness) for $1500

I know that the st185 RC engine has the water to air intercooler, and a higher boost setting, along with(not sure about) a DE-activated anti-lag system compared to the plain ST185

I know alot of people want the A/W intercooler although I already have a huge front mount.
And, as far as the higher boost I already have a boost controller.
then there is the DE-activated anti-lag system which I have heard 2 things about
1.very hard to make work and wire in for use
2.In higher HP (350+) engines it is best to remove this system

So which engine will make the most power for me without having to invest for parts or options that I don't plan on using.

I would prefer a engine that will be stronger and have more potential.

I plan on purchasing the engine within the next few weeks so I greatly appreciate any help or advice,

thanks in advance-Daniel

I heard that the 2nd gen 3s-gte are better suited for high HP range then the 3rd gen 3s-gte. Because the 2nd gen is a stronger block by itself.
