I know exactly what you're considering and what made you start to consider it :twisted: I'm not hating....they're so smooooooth....
All I can really say is if it was my car, I'd go with the newest motor possible, keep it stock (bottom end, cams, fuel, whatever) until everything else is sorted, then overbuild it for 300hp when the funds allow for it so you know its not being stressed over long periods of time at certain rpm levels and dare I say boost levels. Plus, doing that will give you room to grow.
Though I do have a weird hard on for a blow-through turbo carb'ed setup (awful for the track I'm sure), and the L28-T is still hot and bothersome. I'm interested to see how this pans out...
