4age 20V Sliver Top Engine Swap Options

[Drew-887]

Well guys ive been saving my money up all winter for an engine swap and im getting close. I have saved up 1700 so im about 500 dollars short. I want to buy the sliver top engine but im not sure. I want something that ill be happy with as far as HP goes. Now im a novice driver with it come to driving fast cars. Im use to driving my slow 7afe around so I dont know what its like to be in or drive a fast car. The fastest car that I have driven was my sisters V6 MX3. My engine have over 200k miles and I know it will last a long time but I want something faster. Ive only heard one person complain about the performance of the sliver top. I orginally wanted a 4agze but after reading about it seems to be a real pain in the ass to manage but after reading about the sliver top I kinda like it. 5 valves per cylinder, individual throttle bodies seems pretty nice to me. I also plan to get upgraded pulleys and other things as well. Do you all think that I'll be happy with the sliver top? please give your honest opinion.

The question for me has always been silver top, 3rd gen 3sge, or 3rd gen 3sgte. I worry about hooking up with the 3sgte, and the wieght. I worry about not having enough power with the 4age. And I worry about finding parts for the 3sge. I think the 4age is a great motor with a lot of potential. There's a ton of parts out there for it. That's what attacts me the most to it. The over abundance of parts. And it weighs less than the 3sge and 3sgte. Good for solo runs, which is what I love. I love a quick NA motor, with a snappy turning car. But I've never had a high hp turbo car, so I might like that. I think you'll be more than happy with the 4age though. Plenty of motor for a new tuner.
