lets assume the fuel system and drivetrain can handle it,
would you rather have a
fully ported big e3 16g setup with a fully built head with cams/gears
or
bigger turbo setup with a stock head?
eventually both will happen. but one will be this year, and one will be in a year or two.
the only thing that pushes me towards doing the turbo setup first is.. if I build the head first and then my turbo hits the shitter, my car is going to be JSB until I can afford to do the turbo setup that I want (which involves a TS manifold, wastegates, yada yada.) The thing is, the turbo I want (HTA3586) needs a built head to really shine... What would I be able to do with a car that has an HTA86 and a stock head? Would it be safe to do just as long as I keep it under 7k rpms and only have a 2k rpm powerband for a year or two? I can live with that... lol thoughts?
