Eric, while you're at it, just throw some high compression pistons in it. ;)

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.

Nice! can you burn a chip on the dyno? do you guys have a dyno at SCR?

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.

Time to pool money together?

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

[lambo]

I'd drive that Can-Am Spyder all day errday...

@Lambo-.... those are some super sweet rides!!

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.
