A lot of times a swap can be more reliable and equally expensive as FI.

I know my current supercharger build is in excess of 12K right now and expecting it to reach about 15K before being done (no motor work just a lot of cooling).

A LSX swap was around the same price to bolt in and go. Would have made more torque, just wouldn't have passed NH emissions.
