it really depends what you put into it and how much you're planning on modding the engine in the future.

if u've got plans like that, then go the 8 for sure.
stock for stock, the cars will be fairly similar, the 8 will prolly have a little bit more go but it depends on the car.

cool thanks yeah the plans i aint sure to do them yet but it is certain that it will be straight gas and the auto gear box out of the NL fairlane so it should be an inprovement on the 3.9 multi point. :lookedat: do you have much trouble with your gas research system ?

the car drives etc with them blown, i'm guessing the dash light will just be illuminated.
i've driven my car with the air bag removed from the car and it just had the light on the dash. my GRA system has been pretty flawless.
