Why do alot of people around here think that the 7AFE is weak and can't handle boost? I just want to know your view points on this? Do you think its cause it's and N/A engine? Is it because it comes from the factory with only 110 hp? is it beacuae you know someone that has boosted the engine and it has blown up? or any one of the many other reasons you might have?

I just really want to know what all you guys think, that say the 7AFE is weak and people shouldn't spen anymoney on it other then a intake or exhaust system..

Kwanza, I dont know what you are talking about. In no way shape or form was I reffereing to you. In anycase why dont we all just do what we want to our motors keep it all safe and stop with the whole "wasting your money" pitch. Both engines will handle boost w/o overkill and the 4age and 3sgte are both outstanding motors but its not for everyone to swap. To each his own.

I understand you weren't singling me out, but I just need to make things clear for you. Until you have ripped apart your car and put it back together, you cannot offer any *REAL* advice aside from repeating what other people say. That's what makes you sound like a hypocrit. I'm not for swapping, I'm not for turboing, I'm not for anything. I have experience in other vehicles dealing with swaps, builds, turbos, etc... and I'm simply saying, many people will talk the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk... they will typically come up short. What I say is only warnings. Learn from mistakes... when you don't... and bad things happen... wasting money is the deal. Obviously you don't really know cause you probably have never really build your car yet. No one that has done really heavy mods will say they haven't wasted more money than necessary because of little mistakes. Just ask... Ray, Coomer, Mike, 97sccelica, zipstrips, on and on.
