would this be feasible?
so i have been doing way to much reading and need some input, too much contemplation between F/I and NA until i found this engine on scogginsdickey.
http://sdparts.com/details/mast-motorsports/mms113-212 with all the numbers being thrown around on how much this will cost or that will cost for XXX horsepower my question is this, would it be feasible to just buy the turn key engine above and sell the brand new LS3 with almost no miles on it and have roughly a 575 hp NA ride? |

Depends on your cash flow!!! But, yes, you could do just that and have a stronger motor and recoop some of your money from the sale of your "old" motor. Just make sure you have someone tune it properly after you install it!!!!!

H/C combo and full bolt-ons will make simular power, maybe not torque but with half the price I dont think I would buy somthing like that unless I really had the cash. BUT if you have that kind of cash, yes that would a good rout to take...fully forged and stroked That motor is a beast!

well im coming back from afghanistan in july so i will definitely have that kind of money... i have 10k saved for the deposit on a new ss/rs and by the time im back stateside i should have another 16k left over.... i want the kind of power that just brings a smile to your face everytime you mash the gas but dont really know how i want to get there.... ive been looking at IPS, Granatelli and all i really dont want to go supercharged so i just need some hints in the right direction...
