my goal is to break 200 rwhp going n/a. my engine rebuild was supposed to be a budget thing jsut to get the thing cleaned up and stop leaking oil... and ive spent over $500 without even touching the bottom end right now.
so far ive ordered thorley headers, a rabid chimp intake (both of which havent arrived yet, but im in no big hurry to get them in, and i have in my possesion bored throttle body(done at local machine shop) and a port/polished cylinder head, new stainless steel valves, im doing a custom 2.5" stainless steel exhaust going to an apexi n1 muffler and high flow cat. i also have double platinum spark plugs, 9mm msd wires, and accel coil(hasnt arrived yet
). i guessing this will all be good for what? 5 hp at most?
im guessing ill get most of my power from the bottom end, anyone know what i should do to reach my 200rwhp mark? i dont really wanna spend too much more on the motor, im gonna set my bottom end limit to around $600, to include machine work.. which is what burned my wallet on the head. any advice would be awesome.
