rpm dosent make a car not street friendly and the m62 will carry you farther then you think

 

If peak power is at 8500 rpms then in the lower rpms it's gonna have no *****. And nobody drives around with their motor strung out to 8500 rpms all the time except the honda jackasses. The m62 can carry you to 401 whp as proven by ZZP but look at all the work it took to get it there. That motor is actually for sale right now.

And all that work netted 347 whp on pump gas which is all that most people would have access to. I bet if you asked the guys at ZZP how to make 300+whp on an LSJ, they would not recommend keeping the m62.

 

your wrong about it being guttless below 8500. i spin mine to 8100 on the street or at the track the car isent gutless with cams. so here lies the problem with the board is people like yourself who dosent have enough experiance with this platform you think you know more then you do when you dont thats why most people follow 1 or 2 paths with this platform that is why it is still going no where. your right zzp will tell you to ditch the blower alltogether and put one of their turbo kits on. how much can you make ona 2.0 m62 well over 300 if you know what to do and it isent hard to do

 

Please elaborate, im very interested, its a very difficult thing to find out about

 

So how far are you saying you can take the m62? Because I've showed you the farthest it's been pushed on the most common fuel run by LSJ owners (93 octane), it was 347. You haven't showed anything to prove that it can be pushed farther. And I still maintain it is impractical and expensive. You can't honestly say it makes more sense to spend all the time and money to build an engine to make that much power on an m62, when you could spend less and have more power with a TVS or a turbo. Most people don't have a shop of their own where they can build a shop car and experiment with it to see how much power they can squeeze out of it with its current setup. Most people set a goal and want to find the most cost effective and least hassle way of achieving it, not the hardest and most expensive.

 

go search the redline forums there is a guy who went to zzp and had them put stg1 cams in his car and tune it he was on a 2.8 60s stock head (unported) no meth and exhaust he laid down 280 wheeel on zzp mustang dyno with a simple cam swap and tune and it was done on pump gas 93 octane now you take what he has but add a set of nbs in theres 10 or a few more ponies ad meth so you can get a good timing curve and your over 300 probably 310 to 320 now if e is available in your area even more is possable a ported head will help also the parts are out there to have a 300+ hp m62 car

 

I understand what you are saying, really I do I'm just trying to make the point that yes while you can make that power on an m62, a tvs or turbo can take you farther if they have the same supporting mods. And let's face it, a cam swap and nbs is above the skill level of many people on this forum.

 

hell a blower swap is above alot of the board also but that dosent stop them yea a tvs will make more and so will a turbo but dollar spent vs power made a cammed m62 with meth is the way to go i also know a guy that made right at 350 on a m62 car

 

Also depends on if the person is doing their own install I guess. If doing it themselves cams and meth might be a good option but if they are gonna take it to a shop it'll cost a fortune just for install.

 

thats their problem
