lol sorry bout steeling ya thread

ne help would be great ppl..

How many ks on your current motor?

to raise the rev limmit past about 6200rpm will need alot of money spent on the bottom end.

if yo keep a stock bottom end aim for peak power to be made around 5800rpm, that give you a bit past the peak rpm to play with.
it's going to come down to the head and cam you use

307 thousand

kinda looking for the cheapest option.. wouldnt mind rebuilding a motor and wacking a snail on th side but thats future plans prob not this car tho.
