So the motor that is in the car has over 200+ thousand miles on it. The Z runs like a champ!! I am thinking of putting a greddy twin turbo on it but I am seriously worried about the stability of the motor. On the other hand I have seen when people have put corvette motors in them. Just wondering what others think and opions on the twin turbo. Thanks -Wes

Turboing a 200k mile motor might not be a terrible idea. If the engine is healthy it should be fine, stay in the normal safe power zone and a healthy motor should be fine. An LS swap is gonna be a bit pricier but would be under stressed at the same power levels. The problem is total cost to do an LS swap is not far from the cost of a turnkey C5 corvette with a running LS already in it.
