I currently own a 06 SS/SC with 110,000 miles on it. The car is 100% stock and now that my fire academy loan is paid off and my car is paid off what do you guys think. Should I invest the 5k into a Turbo LSJ or just buy a new LNF? I have heard the LSJ is a stronger block than the LNF, is this true?

 

The LNF holds 450 WHP safely so as long as you don't intend on going past that you don't need a rebuild. I would say to just get a newer SS/TC since it'll have less miles better suspension and don't have to spend 5k extra on a car only worth maybe double that.

 

I vote for newer LNF but its all in what you want

the LSJ is a great motor and is good if you want to make high power. Easier to get fuel requirements etc

If you are looking at a DD with good power, the LNF is better imo.

inb4 Mrbelvedere bashes LNFs

 

spend less then 5k on a turbo kit make more power then the lnf and not have a car payment
spend 300 bucks you got the brake setup from a salvage yard still no car payment
oh boy get the struts from c.e.d. guess what still no car payment

the lsj is cheaper to make fast

I don't bash the lnf just state the facts you can go faster cheaper with an lsj

 

im with Mr. B on this one, .... car payments suck as you know OP you finally have got your car paid off so i would say invest in the parts and build it.

Built > Bought lol

 

 

Turbo LSJ for sure

 

Mr. B makes a convincing argument.

 

its a no brainer. turbo that sucker and go ***** to the walls!!

 

the other alternative is tvs custom cams small shot destroy all

 

LSJ. or ill ban you.

 

from the guy selling his LSJ and will soon be banned himself.

 

ahh my favorite type of threads!

 

It has 110k miles. I'd sell it and get a low mileage LNF, but that's me.

 

 

There aren't a whole lot of low mileage LNFs around anymore.

 

Depends what you consider low mileage.

 

Its pretty hard to find a low mileage lnf. even my lsj at 24k miles is considered low.

 

40k is low to me

 

Wayy too high of miles imo to comfortably slap a big turbo on there. I'd be on edge everytime I I got on it. I'd choose LNF, newer, less miles, etc.

 

**** your crazy get an lnf and get ready to open your wallet up like a high priced hooker on top of a car payment and higher insurance

 

I have an LNF lol. Car payment I could see, the rest...just no.

 

it cost twice as much to make an lnf as fast as a turbo swapped lsj

 

I think someone needs their math skills checked lol, being that I priced out turbo swapping this car, and with lots of custom parts involved. Not bad really lol.

 

Low mileage to me when I was looking was under 25k, took me 6 months. That was over a year ago. There out there, you just have to look and be patient.

I second everything Rissa said.
