Fighting the mopar battle in a real class, other than PS is never going to pay off. IT is fun to experiment though.

The 5.3 bs motors are so far ahead it's like comparing a small block to a big block. Run a brad, and you'd better not get hot lapped, but you can buy ready to install parts for anything you could ever break.

Mopar is wait for this, wait for that, personalities to be dealt with all the way.

Also as for indy being greedy. Given how few predator buyers there are, I'm surprised they're as cheap as they are.
