    If you can barely afford a topswap I say wait. A topswap needs more flow unless you want to run rich and 9 times out of 10 topswaps immediately run into issues or chip a piston or worse. And they cost more then ppl say
    Topswap $300
    Headers 300'sh
    Tune $200??
    The you got gaskets and fluids still. Maybe some stuff I forgot
    I got into the $800 range then said **** it and sold the topswap and threw on the headers, i say buy a l67 and throw it in that what I'll do one day.

    But if you run into issues do you have a different to car drive? Can you afford a major breakdown? Those are things to take into consideration also.
