I built mine as a driver and wanted drivability & dependability. Started with a new ZZ4 and then added a FIRST TPI system. The engine is still new but is returning about 16mpg on the highway.

I considered a LS engine, but have always liked the look of the TPI. With the FIRST I get the look and the ability to support up to 600hp. Check out my build thread in my signature for more info and pics.
