original poster ktm, do you have a horsepower goal in mind.
after about 10 years of playing with cars, and learning by myself or from a madman who builds 6 second cars where the math involved is mind boggling i have learned that when you want to build a car.
you ask how much hp.
because you can choose a turbo, fuel pump, injectors, cam, motor, transmission rear, and balance them all over your hp goal.
not how big the motor is, or what "PSI" your friends are running.
horsepower is the math that all the parts of the car can understand and its easy to level out a playing field when you know what you want or are planning on making power wise.
