The J7 only makes sense if you are going for fully built block/full suspension/full roll cage numbers. Otherwise, its an unnecessary drag on the engine. It also costs a lot more and you cant run a filter with it since it sits even CLOSER to the radiator support. The C38R doesnt fit in the area where the V3 sits as its 2 inches deeper. The GTM kit is a huge pain in the *** to install and has no way of sourcing parts or help if it needs them. Everyone knows I get them replacement parts and support asap as soon as they need them/it.

By leaving the V3 as is we can make over 650whp on my new kit with a filter which is the max for the stock block. If you want to start dumping TONS of money into the car to make 700whp+ and build the block/suspension/massive clutches/etc... then yes move into a turbo.

Just FYI, I had to replace my turbo twice, never replaced my V3.
