I didn't see a coffee table option, so I went with big NA build... But I'm an NA man.

How come you were between SC and NA, then confirmed you were ruling out turbo, and then suddenly decide to turbo it? :lol:

What swung you? Cost?

I'd strip it and rebuild it as a learning exercise, then put a low pressure turbo on it to up the torque.

"When is a turbo not a turbo? When it's a soft turbo!" Doesn't have the same ring to it as the door/jar one :(

Supercharge it, have epic running issues, complain, throw dummys everywhere.

Touch yourself.

Then think how you ruined a perfectly good car.
