Just curious Justin, where does your HP peak and what rpm are you shifting at?

seth there is a thread in the texas section with pics.. check it out

The car isnt nesc. setup for spray.. I bought a nitrous system for it and im installing it soon..

It put down 370 with a cc226 cam and stock 241's with maxed out 28.8lb injectors

It hasn't been tuned for the new tr224 cam, 30lb svo's or the 799's or spray.. I hope to have all that done this weekend though.. So im hoping to be somewhat closer to 400 na with the heads and new injectors but we will see..

Top hp was 6.5 thousand rpm i shift at 6.2 rpm which still made like 460
Top tq was 5.5 rpm it starts at 375 tq and slowly goes up it is a very good tq line. So when i shift and it drops the rpms i am still making good hp and rtq. Cant wait to go to the track the new one opens like march 19th. I have micky toms. Slicks and skinnes. All umi suspebsion which helped lbs. I am going to remove the seates when i go to. It should run good. The new paved track should help a little to

If you are going to use N2O I would not get too wrapped up in NA power - it far cheaper to get it out of the bottle.

Porting your heads would benefit both NA and N20 power. Forged pistons & rods are a nice upgrade as well depending on how much power you are looking for out of the bottle.

Yes a nice forged block is good for n20!
