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???

with the 7a, you have to fight to get 100hp to the wheels. no amount of tuning can help it, sorry man.
