Hey guys, have a goal of 160 whp. Would that be attainable with a cam (i.e. 272 or 284/280), exhaust, 7 lb flywheel, and kamotors intake?

WAR chip tuning wouldn't be a bad idea. My friends setup went from 133 to 155whp. Btw you know the flywheel will give you zero more power, it just helps the motor rev faster. Quality headers/ exhaust and a cam will make the most differenceSimon

Originally posted by redlightpete View PostIt does require power to spin up the flywheel, but at a constant speed, no additional power is needed. The rate that the engine is accelerating during a chassis dyno pull is probably low enough that the power needed to accelerate the flywheel is negligible.
... oh and a couple hundred to have a down pipe made
also don't know what the deal is with the fuel pressure regulator... is the stock one useable on low power levels?Last edited by f2740xd; 09-17-2015, 10:56 AM.

Don't want to spend more than 1200 all in on performance mods. Could kinda do a turbo build with the 780$ cx kit, tcd 179$ tune, $180 for a wideband, and blue top bigger injectors running 8 psi (ish), but not sure how I feel about that (would be on stock hg and bolts). Any input as to that?

As far as the CX kit, I would not trust the BOV now Wastegate. Stick with brand name stuff, those are safety items.Originally posted by audiquattrotbimmers b4 b*tches....remember that.

I got 154/152 rwhp on a 200k+ mile m20b25 with 272 cam, refreshed head, long tube headers, 19lb injectors and a SSSquid chip to match.
This is up from 143rwhp a few years ago without headers or cam.1986 911 Supercharged Frakenstrat/Stripped

I haven't had an issue with the stock regulator, it is actually a rising rate, it will increase 1psi for every psi of boost being fed into the vac port. Using those high rising rate is not a good way to tune.
