Re: What motor would you choose? To put in a Z car.

^That is pretty much the plan sir.
I thought that by adding boost I wouldn't lose the NA power that would be perfect for Auto-x type stuff.
I do plan to boost it later on.
I think JET, RYAN, FLOPPY have said it perfectly and right now the major choice is between the LQ9 and LS1/2.
The Z chassis will need some work to hold this power, but the aftermarket for handling is sweet.

I dont know about that jet my man, thats a ton of money. I know someone with an LS6 pull out from a C5 Zo6 might see how much he wants for that.

The iron can handle power without being built, but the aluminum not so much. It would be tapped with heads/cam and maybe 50-100shot.

The yellow Z with an LQ4 formerly owned by titanium a local on MNSC sold to a guy 4 hours away in WI, I am talking to him now and might go get a ride in it.
I started a thread over there and an admin/shop owner said its up to you and what you feel and locked it right away so yeah.

I thank everyone for the helpful input. Remember I am not baller, I usually end up sacrificing food and clothes to work/fund my car.
