    Hi just have a quick question. Got my Stock short block coming out and was wondering what you guys think the limit of my tiny 165 will be. Also have the trickflow street heat. Have a A4 shortblock steel crank, h rods on the way and im not buying new heads and intake for it. Im changing out the E303 for the F303 and giving it hell. You guys think it can hit 700 rwhp?

    Thanks guys

    i had some stock 882 chev iron heads, on 355 cubes
    it only went 1000+ and 960 ft/lbs , 24 psi , and methanol fuel...

    those heads were 162cc, 1.9 intake and 1.5 exhaust

    so with good fuel , and enough turbo, you should do the same ;)

    Cool im trying to keep it cheap. Or as cheap as possible no such thing as cheap when it comes to racing. 1000hp is Wow amazing. I figured since your raming air in the 165 over the 185 wouldnt matter much or would it? BTW its a garrett t-76.

    givin the same A/F x amount of hp requires x amount of fule. more boost means more air is gitting in there so as long as the turbo is still efficant at that boost lvl just keep turning up the boost. Now weather everything else can handle that hp and boost ??????

    I did 700+ with an F cam and 170cc twisted wedges. I say no problem with those AFR's.
