why are you getting nitrous grind cams with no nitrous? have plans on it in the future? if not.. i'd definatly go with the 'drag' grind cams instead.

yeah i will eventually get nitrous. I don't know why they call them nitrous grind though since the intake and exhuast duration are the same. Also I wanted to keep some of the low end power as much as i can.

You could probably get around 200 out of that. Sounds nice.

I believe you can expect to see about 200-220 hp, or about 180-190 whp, with the mods you listed. It will solid horsepower--all the time, throughout the rpm's.

I hate cars, thats a few grand there for 200 horse, but then again, 200 wheel horse coudl feel really good under our cars, coudlnt it. I said goodbye to all my money a year ago tho, when I started modding. WOW that was off topic

You could buy a turbo kit for the same amount of money and have tons more power. Check out www.hahnracecraft.com and they compare spending $$$ on a kit instead of NA.

yeah this whole thing is costing me about 4 grand with machinework. I thought about turbo but then i would need to at least build the bottom end anyway, so i just decided to go N/A and build the top end also. Eventually I will get nitrous. When the engine is broke in and tuned I will dyno it and I'll let you guys know what it is making.
