Default Rear Mount vs. Front Mount

Just cant decide what i want to do... I dont really wanna hack my car up in the front to do the build but what would some of u guys think if u had to do it over again? Its a 02 Z, built 235cc TFS headed 408 on E85.. Gonna be either using Borg Warner t6 style 74mm or 80mm with 1.32 AR.. Just some 2 cents would be nice, Car is very Clean and dont know if i want to hack it up in the front to Accomidate everything, Pros and Cons of Rear vs. Front mount?

There isn't much more hacking between a front/rear mount if you plan on running an intercooler. Maybe some fabricated radiator brackets if you're going with a big snail but I don't really see a comparison. Front mount hands down..

lolz, i read this, but didnt reply, Just give a search bro, this has been debated many of times here. Im Building a "rear mount" setup, as i would not have any connection with sts other then their idea. But to each his own. Like i said, the rear mount vs front has been a heated discussion for a long while. lots of info on that here good luck with your build.

oh, if you want some good info on rear mounts, Just Search, "zombie", he has been doing this for while and has alot of good info out there
