Huge difference. Power capability is awesome...driveability goes way downhill, though, b/c you lose the variable timing that the VE offers.

^^ x2

Those things push fuel! Also depends on how you feel about keeping the engine a true 1st gen. Some hate it, others don't care. It's a personal choice and really depends on what you want to use the rig for..

I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you want more power. The only down side is that instead of starting instantly, they make about 1/2 revolution and then start.
