Yeah, but i want to road race my car, going TT will cost me alot more than 20 grand to make the cat reliable. Plus i just love all motor cars, so i don't mind putting the money into it.

You seem to be operating under the impression a 400whp NA build will be reliable. It won't be. It's getting wrung out within an inch of it's life. Especially for a track build. You're doing it for the love of an NA car ONLY. A properly set up 400whp FI car will be a much more reliable vehicle than a NA build.

It's going to cost you more than 20k to get 400whp NA car and even then it likely won't be reliable.

For anything over 350 on this platform you need FI or a motor swap.

Right now maybe ,maybe not. I'm not in a rush. People are making parts for the NA crowd, ill just have to be patient with the build ands source out everything before i pull the trigger. Im already talking to a couple companies now about getting parts.
