sup guys.. I am trying to decide what to do next with my car. I'd really like to be around 600hp and running 10s. But I can also see myself giving autox a go as well. I know I am not going to get much more out of this stock block considering I am at 438tq already and am pushing it's limits. Given the mods I already have, what do you think I need to do to get there? Guessing it would be cheaper being proactive by beefing up the existing 2.0 or doing 2.3 before I blow it up and need a new shortblock. More details on my car:

nice results on the bbk full though- how do you like it?

I love it!

BBK BB is on my wishlist. Need a demo car? :P

 

I would say get some s2's and wait for the BB BBK-B(that I'm waiting for also)

And get some E85 if you have some close by.

 

I am already on e85 actually

 

Im kinda in the same situation as you. I want more power, but then again, the power I make now is plenty of fun and would make a hell of a run in autox. Truth of the matter though, more power is more usable around here. lol So I am hunting for a 35r setup. I am hoping to make mid 500hp, stock block.

 

I would say go with a ported cylinder head.

 

And while in there, upgrade to S2s

 

Yeah it's so frustrating.. so many options.. LOL

 

Yeah, you might want to do internals before windowing it though.

I would stick to a 2.0 but that's just me.

 

that's what I am thinking.. 2.0 and maybe even the stock crank.. it's good for 650ish right?

 

Yeah, I've got rods and pistons in there with arp main studs on the stock crank.

I would call map and see what they can get for you.

 

if you want any inside info- pm me

you have lots of options though! many companies have some killer 35R style kits- AMS vband kit is nice LOL even we really like it

I actually emailed you earlier today

 

Thats what I am going for!
