Wow, thank you so much for the great replies everyone!

I see that 400 HP is a lofty goal. I have limited experience with all this, so I didn't really have a perspective on my power goal and setup. But now I have a better idea.

I did not consider the temperature as a factor when considering top or bottom mount, so thanks for pointing that out.

I do value reliability and simplicity way more than performance. I also value response over top end HP numbers. I'd be very happy with anything over 300 HP to be honest.

I'm leaning toward the GTX 2867R Gen II. Any thoughts? Would a GTX2871R be another good option? I think the 2871 would be slightly more laggy than the 2867, and the 2871 would have a bit more top end, right? I'm wondering if the 2871 would be a good compromise. Any notable improvement with the Gen II GTX's over the Gen I GTX's?
