22313, Power Gains from Rebuild
Posted by 1FastEclipse, May-05-02 11:49 AM
How much of a power gain would you get from just rebuilding the engine with the howell rebuild kit? I'm gonna be doing it in the fall and was curious. Also, after your done, how big of a shot of Nos could it take? Thanks

power gain will depend on the compression ratio. if you do all the support mods the engine could probably handle a 400 shot or so. maybe a little less with eagle rods.
