Probably the easiest route to go. You can then upgrade internals and add FI if you want. But seriously, going fast in a straight line with FWD isn't all that great. Adding a little more power is good, but you should also consider upgrading the suspension.

well true but if you want to build the internals eagle rods and pistons are 1000 dollars on ebay i can get a whole gsr swap for like 2 grand and that the trans , the motor , cv axles , motor mounts , and wiring harness and computer. im just sayin i think that the gsr swap is the best deal
