Is it really worth it though? From everything I've seen on here and a few places, for the power gain on a hardly modified car, it's just not worth it.

your best bet (if you can do the labor) MIGHT be to take the heads off and get them ported and polished and then get a stage 1 or 2 cam and then the track heat. if you do got P&P make sure you take it to a respectable place

What kind of increase in HP will porting and polishing get, then again what will the stage 1 or 2 cams deliver?

it would be very easy to get an engine from a junk yard and salvage it to the point where i could send those heads out for work. But now that i see the responses, would it be better to go with FI on a 2 valve engine?

yeah but do u wont FI on a completely stock motor???? or do u want h/c/i THEN fi? seems like this comes up way too much. but for the average joe blow who wants a mean steet beater, do H/C/I FIRST. then drive it a while, save up. and then swap to a low boost blower.

wouldn't he still be limited to the 400 rwhp or would he be able to run more horsepower? i only ask because his bottom end would still be stock and i was under the impression that the bottom end can only handle 400rwhp

hey oxford -
how's the difference in power with the trickflow manifold? not necissarily hp/tq numbers...but can you tell if it pulls more up top?
also which setup did you get? the 75mm single TB or the dual 'cobra' TB setup? Was considering getting a stronger intake once i get the heads/cams done, that can handle a larger giggle gas shot than the stock POS plastic peice....

yeah more or less. 400 rwhp is just an aproximate figure. but if he stayed around 6-9 psi there shouldnt be a problem. 400rwhp is nothing to sneeze at. thats a pretty damn stout 2v.

I think im going to do the FI first with low boost. Then when the time is right i can get the low end built and then build the heads for low compression somewhere around 8.5:1. But a 2V running 6-8 lbs of boost is still respectable on the street. Also Im set on a Kenne Belle, doesnt that replace the stock intake manifold anyway?
