374whp

I'm sure he made more, and just didn't feel the need to post it.

trying to see what else would fit the budget for the motor.

Yeah, he had a ported head, and upgraded pistons (stock compression though).

Definitely gotta' port match the exhaust and intake side to even think about getting to 400..
I wish I had E85.

A little bit of a learning curve, but i have a ton of support from some local guys helping me out, I'm not an idiot at all mechanically, but it's a learning process, as I go.

Will update more as soon as parts start coming in and work gets done.

The only thing holding back the sc guys from 4 and 500 + numbers is the stock compression and ci... Up those and the numbers shoot way up

Reading this I see you are stationed in Germany? Who will tune your car there, or is that still in the US?
I'm from Holland and going a similar route as you. LSJ + ported head&78lb's + TVS. Still doubting on cams or adding Meth. (E85 is getting a bity cheaper, but still $$ and very rare here) But I mounted all this in the rear of an Opel Speedster, so per kg my performance should be pretty OK.
Do the tuning myself with HPT on the road, as HPT tuners or even SC's are not very common in Europe.

Agreeing with the compression thing; if you running E85 or meth, raising compression should bring you bigger numbers without stressing the SC on high boostpressures.

Ow, and you can easily do a balancer delete yourself for 0$. Simply cut off the stock shafts right after the 1st bearing and knock the rear bearingshells 7.5mm further into the engineblock to block off the rear oil channels. Simple!
