formula for a 150-175 horsepower n/a motor? 200 1990

Yeah, I am all over this project. Want to go the V15/16 route w/ a totally worked head. Was searching TBricks last night and got tons of info on a 200hp n/a motor. Can't believe the Unitek (or is it Enem) cataloge is like $30. Do you have it? A copy would be great, I'll pay any related costs.

I know this hp level can be done... and would prefer to use a head I can get locally... the 531 is found on what car/year/model? Why is it so good?

Bigger valves, valve job, port, polish, gasket match, dual springs, phat cam (don't car about emmisions anymore, I will buy ((forget you read that ;-)) a sticker), header, air box mods, injectors will surely put me close.

Any oxygen sensor, oe ecu, issues at that level?

My only other thing, I want to keep my auto box... where the hell am I going to get a 2500 stall speed (or custom) converter?

Too many questions and answers ?!...

Body work is first. Then, Titans or Volans on spacers. My car is running good, but I think the VX really needs a cam gear and bigger exhaust.

The plus turbo option is interesting, but how much power are guys getting? At what boost? Recoginze that it is a super cost effective project, what about longevity on a n/a set-up? Could you put another head on w/ sodium valves and then do a + turbo set-up?

I can go on and on... be great if we had a live forum.

Peace & Love, Jon
