you know its funny you guys brought that up, i always hear this battle about which is better and what not

but i realized after talking with my bosses at my new job that it all kind of evens out in the long run, my boss said that to build his engine how he wants it to make good power would cost him around 30k on just engine related expenses

where i may blow my engine a lot sooner, but i can make power to keep a close race with his car and still have money to rebuild mine at least 3 times with that much money
