Has anyone tried any of the top end kits howell sells? What kind of hp gains did you see?

I would just like to say, Welcome to another Tx 2gnter!!

are you talking about the rebuild kits with pistons/rings/waterpump etc... if so you wont see much of a hp gain unless you increase compression and such.. its really for if you want to run boost and need stronger internals than stock

Mods are:
Not enough

The top end rebuild is more of a stregnthening up the top end. Te rollers and rocker would allow you to safely run a higher redline. You would see higher power with the perf top end rebuild but it's not a direct fit. You would have to index the cams yourself. Not an easy task.

"The fastest draw is when the sword never leaves the scabbard,
The strongest way to block, is never to provoke a blow,
And the cleanest cut is the one withheld."

The top end kits are under the neon section of the howell website. I called howell and they said that they will work for our cars. The kit they sell includes all the pt cruiser upgrades, springs, cams, etc. everything except new valves.

Horsepower increase? none.. That's not what it's for, unless you're talking oversized valves, etc.
