    What do you guys think about this.

    M50 vanos with s52 cams, pink top 21lb injectors, TMS Chip, 540 MAF.
    Of course I will switch out to the M52 lifters and cam trays.

    Think this is a good setup?
    Whats your est, HP range?

        182 rwhp 180 rwtq SAE on a dynojet is my guess.

        If your car is around 2800lbs; 14.2@96mph with around a 2.0 short time.

        I love guessing this shit. I bet I'll be close.

          i think it would be more around 190-200 rang with that setup.

            Sounds like enough for a good burnout video. Subscribed.

                Well, it depends. 180whp minimum. I could see 220whp from the same motor though. It's all in the details.

                    Well, the biggest detail is the chip. I sell good chips. Hell, we made 190whp from a STOCK M50.

                    Cam timing is probably next most important. They need to be dead nuts on, and this takes a lot of practice.

                    Beyond those two... well, that's why people pay us for built motors. :)

                          They start at $250, minus 10% because the boss hasn't made me cancel the discount yet. :P

                            Ive seen you say this before but it still confuses me. I mean when you use the cam lock tools, flywheel TDC pin and tensioner tool, how much more dead nuts can you get? Those tools used together allow zero movement of the cams with relation to the crank along with the proper chain arrangement. What am I missing here?

                            As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                            You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.
