If it was me I would get the forged motor and blower and be done with it, but then what do I know I went through that decsion 2 years ago when my Vette was paid for and I wanted a C6, would not take a bath on trade in, so I opted for Sick HP

I'd probably make up my own mind and not worry about what the majority of others would do. But that's just me.

My Z's paid for and I still have it so there's my vote.

I paid cash for mine and I'm happy where I am.
Maybe the fact that I have my second son starting college in September has something to do with the fact that I'm not buying for quite some time?
