    I think you should. Unless you can sell the 4v and break even or make some money.

    I should have saw this coming... buy a 2v and a 4v shows up, buy the 4v and now a s/c shows up...This things gonna go quick though and its 2 hours away.

    This is the hardest decision ever.

    I heard the 99-00 eatons had a tendency to go bad randomly, the 01-03 blowers were better.

    I say stick with the 4v. its different and I know you can buy a better FI system to put the 1200 towards, that one looks like youd have to do a lot of cleaning and may have bad bearings...etc... its like putting new tires on your truck vs getting cheap ones off craigslist that are 13 years old....you get what you pay for.

    4v is still a better decision to me. Better potential in the long run and you'll have an engine ready to throw a little boost at later on down the road.

    You can find those eaton setups on eBay all the time for that same price, no harm no foul. Stick with the 4v
