the debate is not about how hard it is, its about how effective and necessary it is.

Filling your block is probably as effective if not better than posting it. It probably wouldn't really hurt to post/fill your block, and its' really easy to do. So why not just do it as a precautionary measure?

Yeah, I remeber that car, he had "evans 2" on the license plate or something. I wanted to check it out but I never saw him with the hood open..

gt35r is overkill unless it's a drag car and your going for 600+ whp in my opinion (too laggy on the street). A gt30r would be a much better choice for a street car, it will get you into the 10's and 500+ whp, but still have great spool on the street.
