what would you do?
I would like to do a swap but, I don't know which to do. a Supercharged LQ9 or a aluminum big block. I want to maske 650 HP to the wheels wich would be the most cost effective and be easier to do?

Re: what would you do?
the LQ9 has too much compression for boost, but that's okay, because you'll need forged pistons anyway. The big block could get you there on regular unleaded, as it won't need as much boost, but unlike the LQ, there's no chance of ever getting decent mileage, or passing an emissions inspection. You'll also need to change the hood for that big-block. If stealth and surprise is your thing, then that won't do.

We don't have emission testing in FL anymore! Big block! Big block!!
Good luck, and whichever way you go, take pictures and post up a thread so that others (like me) can learn a new trick or two!
