It would be cool to do a Mazda B6T swap into a festiva. That would be an easy 13.xx car . Geo Metro presents a problem because of lack of underhood space. Either your going to cut it up to put a rear drive chassis under it or the motor that you swap in is still going to be too small to notice a big improvement. It doesn't matter though because people will still laugh at you for wasting your money on a car that will NEVER be fast or cool. Correction: Jay Leno has a Ford Festiva that is mid-engine, a 3.0 liter Taurus SHO engine, I believe he calls it the Fastiva. Even still, it took a multi-millionaire to produce something like that.

Nitrous works just as well, and is less complicated to hook up. i would stay with that until you build another motor, forged I hope. Of course, that was with my own personal experience. There are alot of people who swear by snow performance kits.

When this one lets go, its gonna get a forged 355 and keep the boost and throw some spray at it or a forged 383 and just put a BIG plate kit on it. still undecided...i think once this is tuned and i have a time slip in my hand it'll help with the decision.
