Guest Anonymous Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Does anybody know how much hp you get from a performance cam? also what about performance pistons? i'm looking for a lot of torque without going with the v8 swap. any info is appreciated.

Lockjaw Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 How much power depends on lots of variables. If you want lot's of torque, build a stroker motor, and put a mild cam and header on it and go. A high performance cam will not do much down low anyway, and will be happiest when in the higher rpms. You will have a hard time getting 168 cubic inches to make torque anywhere near what a nice SBC will do. Turbocharging it will make it more powerful, but again, without extensive mods, not going to get the torque of the V-8. I nice mild cam should add about 10 to 15 hp.

johnc Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 This is probably about the best you can do with a normally aspirated L6: Defcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
