    buy my white BBS RC's and I'll gladly do that :puppy:

    I was actually thinking of a set of catcams, carbon airbox, bigger exhaust, tune & E85 would be some good fun.

      Then some pistons would be a drop in the bucket at that point. ;)

        nah, because if I take the head off then that means B32 valves, port/polish, head rebuild, lighter rods, custom 3.5L crank, dry sump, etc.

        A slippery slope that I don't want to go down for as long as possible.

          Yes and, not exactly. We use a dynojet that is located about 20 minutes from the shop, in Fort Collins.

          Let me confirm with Karl that he can tune your ECU (I am 99% certain he can.)

          If you make it up, you'll have to check out our shop and engine building department. We are doing around 1 built motor a week on average, and they are turning out great. I'm really enjoying it (and sliding headlong into building a shortblock with 12.5:1 compression to go along with my pimpy new head/cams.)

            That'd be great, plus I think it's a dynojet that I have to use for classification for NASA TT since I have a swapped car.

            I'm running a red label 075 ecu btw.

                  interesting thing to collect, that's for sure. I wonder if he drove a different one to work every day.

                          So with 15% drivetrain loss you are well over 300bhp. Well done!!!

                          Now make my M60 do that.

                          EDIT: assuming you have EXACTLY 15% drivetrain loss, that is 314.86 bhp.

                            Easily done:

                            remove M60, install LS3.

                              heh. Not so easily. Or cheaply. I have read that you can crack 300 bhp w/ some tuning on an M60B40. I hope that is true.

                                It's what, 286 stock?

                                Put headers that are known to flow, run a 3" exhaust, and you'd probably crack 300 crank.

                                I'd just supercharge it. Much better power per dollar.
