The TIV engine is NOT 4 times more expensive than a TI of equal displacement. when you compare apples to apples it will take the same amount of money to create a TI even close to the strength of a TIV in durability respects.

When one decides to drive their car instead of working on it- they graduate to the TIV.
Yeah, I kind of agree... totally
Tho I also understand the reasons people do the suby conversion for, so if its not totally financial you base your decision on, its all about your personal experience you (want to) get from driving your car...

Good luck,
