I'm thinking about just keeping the car in the driveway till I have the time and money to come out with my boosted car. I'm only looking to make 500 orso to the wheels through my stalled auto is it doable?

So in YOUR honest opinnion(anyone who reads this) would you do a LQ9 or a stock LS1 swap. its getting boosted either way with 6 pounds of boost later on(like mid march)

I wont shoot more than a 75 on my stock fuel pump so im going to a 255 and will be good for a 150-175
