4age black top, should i Options

[quicknstyle]

i have a 94 st with 200k miles on it, and i need to do somethiong fast, dont wanna go all out with the gte engine cuz i know whats involve but the 20v black top seems like a lot of fun, i know it lacks low end torque but arent there certain upgrades to bring that up a bit to make it more of a reasonable daily driver? should i? or should i just get the gze engine. the black top would be cheaper for me though

DO IT! :-) It's always cool to say you have a supercharger and everything but the 20V blacktop is awesome. go for it. i think you'd be the first with the blacktop in a celi. then i'll be the second! lol. i think theres like 5 silvertops and 2 gze's in 6GC's. by the way, where did you find a blacktop front clip for cheaper than a gze? over here, gze's are cheaper.

I only count two running ones, and then soulshadow's car which isn't running right yet. Who else has the silvertop in their sixth gens?

6 speed's are really nice. Get those tranny if you can. You could probbaly even run open throttles since you have a MAP instead of the usual MAF.

The six-speed is pretty hard to come by and expensive, but I hear it's a good tranny. And yes, you could run open velocity stacks with the blacktop ECU.

also later in life if you need more speed, aren't blacktops easier to turbocharge?

In a sense, yes, because there's no AFM on the blacktop. However, The blacktop 4A-GE has weaker, lighter internals which can't take boost as well as silvertop internals.
