| 39 | Purpose | This was my street motor until I turbocharged it and stuffed it in the drag car. |
| 40 | Comments | This motor is an absolute beast for what it is. It makes BRUTE power from about 3k to 8k. Once this motor is on boost, hang on. The great thing about this particular motor is that with the smaller heads and cam it putts around town like a normal HP motor until you step into it and it comes on boost. Driveability is awesome and it's a no brainer motor that anyone could build. The only thing I would change if this was to be a street motor would be the header diameter from an 1 3/4" downsized to an 1 5/8". |
