Contemplating a lil project for spring break/ beginning of summer. I know I could easily make power cheaply by just throwing in a l28et. But something about staying n/a alures me. My questions is, about how much hp would this make.
n42 head, with whatever cam could best use the compression
f54 block, flat-top pistons
mega squirt with n42 intake
headers and 2.5'' exhaust
I really only need 180-190 whp and equalish torque and was wondering if this could accomplish it. If not, are there any other things I could do to bump it up a bit. I would mainly like to get it maxed out with like 91-93 octane gas. So, if I could bump up compression and run bigger cam I would.
Dunno, was just playing around with the numbers, and was looking about at 1,500-2000 to get a turbo motor with intercooler and goodies(minus stuff I would need for n/a swap like clutch,flywheel, fuel etc.) And for some reason I cant explain to myself I wouldnt feel bad spending 1,500ish for 190hp/180tq instead of going the easy route and getting 240hp/280tq.Also, with every hp question post comes a 1/4 mile time question. Do you think a setup like this could see high 13s? I remember searching about this a while ago and getting more results, did some of the older posts get cleared?
