When I was planning ahead....waaay ahead.... (Thanks to Mr2Driver)
For my Gen 3 swap I saw many I.C.'s for sale that were either used and kind of beat up or very cheap...yet questionable..
Assuming you're still relatively stock...I would think of your power goal..
To me, it didn't make sense to spend the money on a nice car and then hold back when upgrading it.
I think if you plan on making it a beast any time soon..get a Spearco..It comes with a fan shroud already welded on and includes a 7.5" Spal fan, Couplers, etc.


I'm glad I did.

If you don't plan on going all "hardcore" yet...then don't listen to me lol
