    What would you do?

    Well I got my offer accepted on my second house that I am going to be renting out as well as renting out my house I bought when I first moved down here. I also sold my supra and have some extra money laying, so I decided I am going to keep my mustang and put some time and money into it. But not sure which way to go power wise. Its going to body shop in next couple weeks to fix some things, adding a cowl hood, 03 cobra bumpers with the cobra in the rear shaved smooth, debaged and getting a flat white paint job. So here is what I am in the air about. I am not going turbo, its going to be SC. It will be getting a MMR900 shortblock with ported 2v heads and blower cams. Here are my options. I either go the Tork tech kit with a whipple, a KB 2.6 for 2v setup, or a Vortech T-trim. Looking for 600-700rwhp. This will be infront of a T-56. So which one would you choose and why? This car will be 85% street and 15% 1/8th mile strip.

    I'd address the rot under it first! Then LSX swap it with a TVS2300.

    I already own the first house, paid cash for it but seen how well rentals do down here so I rent it out for good money and the second house I will barely owe anything on and will rent it out for more than 5x the mortage payment. And these are just some more play income, My other investments that I do go into savings acct and my own retirement. And then I have my full time job which covers all my living expenses as well has going into my savings and investments. So this is my fun income and has no affect on my life or future.

    thought about that, it just seems like 2v guys love the t-trim and I never really gave the novi2000 a thought nor the YSI

    nice street warrior. something for low end. I already have something for top end and roll racing. I just looking for something fun light to light but no sit on big and littles. Gt500s are a dime a dozen down here. You are more likely to see a cobra or gt500 than a regular mustang.. LOL at greg lying about having a gf

    I vote twin screw then......whipped/torq tech kit or KB are both great. I'd say it comes down to personal preference. The 2.6 is a good blower....which whipp,e would you choose 2.9?
