turbo 7th gen EX or LX

[lifes_simple]

i have an lx engine right now and thinking about head swapping to an ex. i dont really care when people say its only 10 horses more,cuz 10 horses is 10 horses. i was wondering this because i have a turbo at home. should i swap heads THEN turbo or just leave it as LX and turbo ?

if you want that little extra power swap to the ex, otherwise sell the turbo

Turbo as LX, its not worth the head swap.

lx has lower compression and has better gear ratios for boost

You got it all wrong, nub. Even if it did have lower compression, which it doesn't, swapping the head would not change that anyways. Compression has to do with the block.

And the lx and ex have the same tranny....

Please at least try to be right next time.

Not worth swapping heads in my opinion... but if you want that little bit of barely noticeable extra horsepower, more power to you.

buy my turbo kit...full kit including intercooler and all piping for an LX.....750 and you can have it!!

So if I change my block I'll get higher compression?
























































































































Gear ratios are different in DX_LX vs EX
