The Eaton TVS will make power all the way to redline. I am also curious at the same psi the comparision to the two. A T-78 at 11psi makes about 330whp and 250lbtq. Atleast mine did. For the fd I'm going with a ported rew motor and the S/C. No crazy switching of parts between motors. I'm doing it to see a realistic cost assesment for racing on a acceptable budget.

NOPE. For buying an FD with a blown motor, then rebuilding the motor and throwing on the s/c kit and sespension pieces. Its about the same as buying a cheap fc and 20b, then rebuilding the 20b for n/a and getting suspension pieces. Both set-ups will run about 20k when done for everything. The difference is the FD set-up is way easier to maintain and its a better starting point.

I still want a nice anniversary fc to cruise around, even if its stock on some sweet rims.

Well, only time will tell. It will be nice to just do it and see the results.
