My engine builder is proposing 2 options.
1. NA with forged crank, carillo rods, extensive head work, extrude honed manifold, cam, headers, yada yada yada. Basically build the best 2.7 possible for the street/trackday.
2. 2.7 with the crank and rods. lower C/R. Turbo. He is claiming this will.
produce 295 rwhp.
I generally prefer NA motors, especially on the track. More linear power delivery. Plus I like a motor that is very free reving.
However HP and torque are intoxicating. Hell with 295 at the rear wheels the damn thing would outrun my Porsche.
Help! I am sliding down the slippery slope and I can't get up!
Which way would you go and why?
