I am looking for about 250-300 whp of reliable, daily drivable power. I want to have enough power available throughout the powerband so that i don't have to punch it to accelerate, like i do with my present engine. I'm looking for efficiency more than anything, I want everything to work well together to give me the most out of what I've got.
I want to have the power available when I need it without having to strain the engine. i know that this has more to do with tuning than anything else, but I'll worry about that once I've figured out what engine setup i'm going to use.
I plan on upgrading the engine after the swap unless I'm able to find the exact parts i need. I find that highly unprobable as I was planning to either buy a front-clip or a new engine and the needed parts as needed.
additionally, anybody know of a good source for engines?
