I have a delimma and I cant choose. I have an RS machine sleeved block that I was going to build (eagle rods, high comp pistons, pro2 etc), but I will have to bore it out to 86mm because of the scarred sleeves from the previous owner.

My tuner offered me a trade for a stock GSR block and a turbo kit(garrett 57trim, cast mani, 3im DP, injectors, tune, etc.)

Now I was wondering what YOU would choose in this situation. Im leaning towards the turbo route because I will get my car up and running right away because I still have to purchase pistons for the 86mm. And also this will be in my DD, so idk how realiable the 86mm will be daily.

Opinions, suggestions, comments please

Tough choice, but I would go with the trade. It will get better gas mileage if you drive it sanely, and its your DD. Gas mileage+power is a winner in my book.

I daily drove 86 and even 86.5mm
I do not suggest it on the long term.
In case of imperfect assembly and tune U will experience head gasket problems.

For a daily driver I would go boost. 300+ whp and you'll be very happy especially on the freeway.

Yeah, that's one of the problems I DON'T want to deal with. I drive the car almost everyday to school and work and I just can't have it breaking down on me. Plus I take occasional trips to the dragstrip(closest one is 2hrs away) and I don't want to blow a HG. Well..goodbye NA section, hello forced induction
