49388, Thinking about upgrading. What do you think?
Posted by thegame, May-23-03 06:29 AM
Well..... the thought of upgrading from my hrc stage 2 to stage 3 has came to mind, and is stuck there. But there are some things I want to know/ask. I dont have the money yet, but will soon start to save if I feel the need for MORE BOOST!! (and I definately want more) }(

Should I wait and see what the new stage 3 is/has? OR Should I just buy the bottom end kit? If I buy the bottom end kit, what else should I get/upgrade? I think I might just wait for the new stage 3 to come out (I can start saving too), but I dont think they come with internals anymore, so I might have to buy the bottom end kit anyways. I just wanted to hear what you guys think. Let me know!

buy one of those shortblocks form vtengines.com or whatever the name of the company is. rumor has it they are far better than howell, the shortblock that i bought.

then again, i haven't had any issues with my howell 8.6:1 block yet. the other place is cheaper though.

just get the howell bottom end kit and raise the boost to 15lbs on 93 octane and anything higher you must use race gas.
