fg's are wikid machines. specially for daily duties. but if your planning to mod it I cant see alot of different between a built fg 400kw and a 400kw ba, part from the gearbox... if your planning on putting the same turbo on the fg?

Only daily for another year because of forgies and wear during the warm up process.

Don't want to be pulling the motor apart for a freshen up every couple of years.

I think it's going to come down to dollars and cents. The more I think about it, the more out of reach the fg seems. I've only got a budget of about 15k to spend.

fg= better car for everyday driving/ long journeys.

on the strip the difference is the et/$$$ ratio.

Ok. Going to build the motor and drive it for another year. Then I'll retire it for weekend/strip duties and get an FG daily :)

Thank you all for your input.
