I have a dealer giving me Php 60k ($1250) with installation, and all for the
3SGE 3rd Gen, he also is offering me for Php 85k ($1800) A BEAMS Greytop from a Caldina GT which he would convert to manual tranny, I guess from a compatible engine, so my question is if it's acceleration I'm after which would you suggest and why? is the extra $650 worth it? also if I opt for the BEAMS, I know ECU might be de-tuned a bit, what can I do to get back those lost HP and maybe gain some more?

By the way for comparison, I already am running a 4AGE 20V silvertop, so would I feel the difference acceleration-wise?

Thanks!
