I want to know if this would be the best swap for my civic the price on the setup above is 4500.00 plus shipping .I have around 10 k to spend on the motor as of right now i may invest more than this in the future.I will install the motor with friend at his shop to save me the cost .
I want to know what upgrades i should do on the motor first to get the most out of it if someone could help me out here it sure would help me out a lot .
thx guys
