Bone stock LNF + 5k mods?
If you didn't have your current vehicle and came into a tc with 5 grand to upgrade, what would you do? I was thinking about this earlier and curious to see what others would do.

2.1 Block from ZZP with matching upgraded internals(pistons, connecting rods bearings, etc.....) WR-3 turbo & mani, Southbend stage 4, and upgrade the F35 tranny - well, that may put it a tick over 5K????

If I knew what I know now then, had an extra 5k laying around and a brand new or close to bone stock LNF.
I'd go GMS1, and bolt ons and call it a day!
I'd focus on suspension and overall look of the car. I think GMS1 is plenty of power for my driving. 90% of the time I drive is speed limit. So GMS1 would have been perfect with some bad ass wheels extremely rare wheels, and pedder coilovers.

ie sell the car, but Evo haha
to be honest i would focus mostly handling, lower, stiffer, putting power to the ground not just burning up tires, from there it'd be more GMS1, the aftermarket parts and some tuning... easy goal, 300-350whp actually going to the ground

Powell also makes upgraded bushings for the rear beam
pedders
a set of track wheels and tires
LSD if you don't have it
Full exhaust

Sell it and then lowball someone on here for a already modded lsj, that the 5k plus the extra 4 to 5k saved from selling the lnf and buying the lsj for around 7k and build the motor plus slap on a tvs, buy any other small parts that the previous owner didnt get and shoot for a 400 whp tvs on e85.
