Well guys ive been saving my money up all winter for an engine swap and im getting close. I have saved up 1700 so im about 500 dollars short. I want to buy the sliver top engine but im not sure. I want something that ill be happy with as far as HP goes. Now im a novice driver with it come to driving fast cars. Im use to driving my slow 7afe around so I dont know what its like to be in or drive a fast car. The fastest car that I have driven was my sisters V6 MX3. My engine have over 200k miles and I know it will last a long time but I want something faster. Ive only heard one person complain about the performance of the sliver top. I orginally wanted a 4agze but after reading about it seems to be a real pain in the ass to manage but after reading about the sliver top I kinda like it. 5 valves per cylinder, individual throttle bodies seems pretty nice to me. I also plan to get upgraded pulleys and other things as well. Do you all think that I'll be happy with the sliver top? please give your honest opinion.

The silvertop is a great, low cost, good power and reliable n/a power for anyone who wants a decent upgrade. There's no reason a silvertop swap should run anyone more than $3500 INLCUDING labor, most of the time.
