yea this is what i am doing...this is what sucks man we have some knowledgable people on this site but to have them all have a thread to beable to bullshit is hard...without people coming in and saying hey u think i should add cooling mods to my 2.6 with 60s? it gets annoying i mean i love to help but if were knee deep in a convo...dont come jumping off topic
I don't have a supercharger so no pulleys!
I won't be posting that!
I just like to see what everyone is doing, just to see what is possible!

When I get some more money *or* I blow up my motor I will be doing a full build cause thats just how I roll!
There still aren't many cam options out for the 2.4 yet though.
I don't think I really want a high reving engine, I just like knowing its solid!
Don't you need to upgrade coils if your gonna run over 7k RPMs?

springs u mean? upgrading ur valve train is so it can support the power u plan on doing...rebuild an engine doesnt really mean u are building more power..just means ur engine can handle the power u want to make. the power comes from more air or higher octane allowing u to advance timing in ur tune. things like that increase the power (thats why people drop pulley sizes) but if ur like me and beat the **** out of ur car til it frys a piston u have a problem lol..thats why i am doing my build

Well the springs will be helpfull under higher boost, not just high revs.
Cams and pistons (compression ratio) directly affect the power curve of the engine. I want to build up my motor so I can run more boost later on.
My rods are forged and are probably OK for my needs. I would like to get up to 350HP at the crank eventually, I think that will put me at a good spot where I shouldn't blow the transmission. *I hope*
The engine shouldn't burn a piston if the A/F ratio is as it should be. Go lean and burn.
96 octane fuel at the pump would be nice. That is my biggest holdback. I have to tune for 92 to keep it streetable. My 10.4:1 comp ratio makes it not the best for high boost. I'm keepin it around 8psi. That will still put out 241WHP and 263WTQ! (hahn's recent dyno numbers)

I was talking about spark plug coil packs. Don't they have problems at higher RPM's with output.

Yes sir! Unfortunately I haven't been able to drive my car much because of issues with the turbo kit. It seems to be pretty stiff though. I had to remove my DC sport strut tower bar to make room for the intake pipe. Gonna modify that later, just want it to run first!

there is a reason why im doing springs. not just for the sake of the cams. nor increased rev limit.
i have hit my power goals. well exceeded them actually. now i have a new goal in mind, and im fairly certain i can hit it with minor mods.
