That's a stretch, it's almost a spec motor in Gridlife ClubTR and GLTC at this point. There are also multiple people running k24 swaps in NASA TT with success.

I knew as soon as I hit "Submit Reply" that I would be flamed to hell and back.
That being said, I'm not saying you or anyone else is wrong. There is very little about doing this stuff that's "right" but that price is very steep given all that it really accomplishes. I also agree that the FA2x platform has shown some serious weakness but at least a FA24 is looking to be a pretty smart upgrade if you can address the weaknesses for lower cost.
Maybe the $17k is a "somebody else is doing the work price" but, as much as I hate to say it, a LS swap seems to be a much bigger bang for the buck.
Again, I'm not knocking anything but the money involved here. The K24 swap was very high on my list but if $17k is the number then I'm going to have to think of a different approach.
