In my case, I'm fortunate enough to be able to spend whatever I want to spend on my cars. The amounts of monies that were mentioned on this thread yesterday about, e.g., 1.7L versus 2.65L cost/resale, and monies each of us have spent and might spend on our cars are inconsequential in the big picture.
The good advice that was repeated most often yesterday was, if your past tendency has been to incrementally add increasingly more hp, spend the money up front so you don't have to spend twice. In my case, if I change to 2.65, and because I race at altitude, I might not have to change any other part (high side, inj., etc.) primarily because I did a valve train first. And the resale of my KongX would partially offset the 2.65 costs. But again, this is a nonissue for me.
