Remember too that you have reasonably well sorted boost options both turbo and SC if the need for power bites.

More importantly is the suspension options and knowledge from guys like CSG Mike and RaceComp. Might need to sort out the handling if it's too far from what you're used to with the Spyder.
Well, 5k to get the drivetrain sorted out is not that much since the rest of the car is more or less good to go. The twins need brake upgrade to have similar stopping ability, exhaust is way more money, wheels and tires are more, the flywheel has to be changed out separately whereas it doesn't add much money to an engine swap, all engine parts are more expensive. The one plus I can think of is that the FA20 is way cheaper and easier to tune.
