To swap or not to swap? LQ4 w/ms3 or L92 w/big cam
My current setup is a 93 nissan 240 with a LQ4 ms3 combo and a t56 that I occationally spray a 125 shot. The bottom end is bone stock and I've never had it dyno'd. I've been thinking of going turbo so I bought another motor (lq4) to build for the turbo setup so when its ready I can just swap them out and not really have any down time. After looking under the car for a place to do the remote mount and not wanting to deal with the flipped truck manifolds thing I decided that the turbo thing was just more hassle then i care to deal with.
So I still have this block here. I could do pistons and rods and some L92's but would it make enough power to warrant the money it would cost to do swap or should I just sell it and keep rockin what I got. I'd like to be able to make 500+ at the wheels on motor but if I'm making 415-430 now. Need some opinions...

No need to build a turbo setup. You already have the nitrous setup so that'd be much simpler to do. Why make things harder than they need to be unless you really want to go turbo?
