An SVT motor would be too costly and too difficult to install. Plus the higher compression on the SVT motor would make turboing it up more difficult. From what I hear the 6 speed isn't much better than the 5 speed just has an extra gear.

Even just swapping in a used stock motor was a pain. Found a stock used motor for $315 and just swapped it in. Took about a week cause we messed up the first time and had to pull the motor and swap crank position housings then put the motor back in.

I'm running on 7psi which is a bit much for stock fuel and timing, even with 93 oct. I've been having trouble with the chips streetflight has been sending, they don't work for some reason. Aside from that the car runs like it did before.
