this is what it will be when im finished with the engine


stock bottom end
ef Head + about $300 - $500 worth of porting

how much do you think it will put out at the wheels?

MustangNicko

Probably 150kw at the wheels?

What he said, though put some decent valve springs in, the XR ones aren't up to the job IMO.

What's that?..... Did I hear you say TQE power?

Ruger

so with 150 @ the wheels it should be seeing 14s then ?

qwikcorty

i did a 14.8 with 127kw at the wheels and a 2.92 single spinner diff in a 1600+kg ea, so 150kw at the wheels should get you a 14 too.

I'll hold out for closer to 160, just to be different
Consider slightly bigger valves, with a cam like that they should be worth it IMO

my guess is aorun 135 to 140 ... maybe a tad more due to less drivline loss considering its manual ... we should make a bet out of this ... who makes the best guess ...

hehe the last time i didint do too bad with only being a few kW out :D
