How much do you wanna spend and how much power do you wanna make?.

It drop straight in but you'd be better with fill in tranny support, i've kill two mounts before filling them and i have not yet had anymore trouble with them. Correctly tune the gtx will produce over 230hp without becoming an heatpump. There's a post where one ran a 11. something with the gtx an the stock vj-20. My next set-up is built to see what's the max output power of the vj-20 at 13psi, last summer i was running 13.6 at the 1/4 and comparing it with car of the same weight that i know for shure the hp at the wheel i estimate around 220hp for last summerhttp://www.cardomain.com/id/protila

-weights are the same, basically
-no balance change
-mounts are all in the same place, just need to get the K series ones to use the KL motor
-neither is "better", it depends on your goals."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"
