I have been thinking about getting a 3sgte and swapping it for my 7afe, but I just see a lot of problems down the road with actually getting the swap completed. I really want to do the swap, but I don't want to spend the money right now. Is it possible to acutally tune the 7afe and make it a decent engine? I am just thinking that I will add a bunch of things from the parts database list and see how much hp I can get without turboing the engine. I shooting for a lotus elise type vibe. I am thinking that I will see how much hp the parts add and then I will add suspension stuff so it will be more of a track car then with a st205 swap which makes it more like a drag car. So, is it worth it to add to the 7afe???

In my opinion, the only thing that's worth doing to a 7AFE IS turboing it.
