Confessions, 5sgte Options

[urbandork]

I really want to do a 5sgte as there is a possiblity i have access to a free 5sfe, theres a 3sgte head with cams, plemuth and everything else one ebay, i already have the trubo for it, and i already have some of the fuel management to make it run. Having another engine allows me to just have it sitting on an engine stand and work on it when i get pistons, rods, ect, And time

The dilemma:

I dont have to much MONEY lol

BUT MOST OF ALL
the HP numbers ive seen discussed on the mr2 boards as well as others are of over 400 whp. This really doesnt suit me as my car is a daily driver, i dont do any street racing or track racing, im not sponsored and I dont neeeeeed all that HP, although it would be nice to have.

Plus im only 21 but im 22 this year and next year im 23, which by that time would i really want or have the use for a +400 whp car???? and would i really be happy that i spent all that money in the engine when it could have gone to something like a house payment later on???

Plus lets not forget everything else other then engine related things that i would need for a +400 whp car i would want a diff tranny, LSD, axles, and clutch + id probably want to swap out that ct26 for a larger turbo.

Anyway i just wanted to come here and vent my feelings about me, my car, and a 5sgte.

Thanks for listening.

500 hp is fun if you can get it to the floor. I had 687 HP in a truck (2JZ-GTE) alot of fun...
