alright guys so heres the situation...

as most of you know i already have a built 3s-gte... now i have been working on my other 5s-fe's and what i thought was a bad block is actually a 99 5s-fe block in outstandingly good shape... so my delimma now is... build it to be my daily driver (which i currently do not have)... or convert it to a 5s-gte to be another beast of a machine...

just some notes... i already have an AEM EMS for the 3s-gte which will be absolutely perfect for a 5s-gte... i will be able to get the 5s-gte to purrrr like a kitten... and i have the stock 3s-gte ecu so running both engines will not be an issue...
-i also have another 5s-fe auto which will prob could be finished to be my daily driver

so the real issue is... do you think its worth it to have a 3s-gte and a 5s-gte?? i would consider selling the 3s but with the way the market is nowadays i don't think it would be worth it...

GIVE ME YOUR INPUT PLEASE!!

Make a powerfull but reliable 5S-GTE.

Not too powerfull, but enough to have fun and be sure it wont blow when you go WOT too oftenly
