Yeah I don't know how to get the dealer to address this issue. I would have 14k though so I could buy a new LLT and turbo that, then save the one I have and tear it down as a back up/project. Agreed on the money but I need something that will last.

Lmao I just talked to him and he said he'd absolutely have my full 12k in about two months. He didn't anticipate me selling the car and he just refinanced the house so otherwise it wouldn't be an issue. He paid for my school so I really am not in a position to be upset lol

You're just trying to scoop my catch can! lmao nah but you guys are right this engine reallyyyy shouldn't get boosted.

Specially putting more power in the engine.
Would you go for another v6 and supercharging that brand new engine ?
The lfx is better for forced induction and tuning you will be getting more power than a stock v8
14k should definitely be enough to swap for an LFX and MAYBE have dough left over for a kit, that, I am completely fine with.

I had a 720 score last year and since then I got a new Wells Fargo card that I always pay on time and never the minimum so I don't see why I'd get denied for a $26,000k loan...thats the only thing stopping me from getting the SS at this point.

It just sucks that I'd get a damn misfire problem because its hard to get a dealer to fix that.
