So i wanted to know what you guys who are 'In the Know' think about this:
other then engine displacemnt and obvious advantages the 3sgte has i want to know what you guys think is more worth wild. Iv been doing alot of my homework and have basiclly decided on simply swaping my 5s-fe with a 3s-gte, BUT i was wondering what you guys WITH either 3s-gte's or 5s-fte's think about it. What seems more worth is, AND if i were to turbo a 5s-fe how much boost can i push safely with out any internal work? All of your imput would be very helpfull...

alright well thanks alot slowcelica94, and macavely for being so passionate about this. Its all good boys, dont get all mad about this.

thanks alot to all of you for your input and i think ill take my fellow GT friends idea and start looking more into a 5s-fte, iv done alot of research and it is my everyday driver so it might be fun and a challange to turbo it. I am not a "mechanic" but i have ALOT of expericence with 4 bangers and know my way around the 5s-fe well.

Im going to do a good diagnostic check on my current engine and if its still strong ill turbo it, if not ill look into the swap, and if not that ill get a mustang (JUST KIDDING)

thanks again. anyone else with input feel free to enter more....
