Ive got 2 other VE's im building atm - they are sucking my time up.
I think its quite unfair to say the results were low - or less than expected?
Considering the thing is chocked to the hill - and barely tuned - 175odd Hp at the treads is well within acceptable and im happy for that.
Brining the Af's back up over 11 - adding an exhaust system (car currently runs factory pea shooter stuff) and cleaning up the intake tubing to alloy - and adding a reasonable air cleaner i will certainly see 200 or more.
Im yet to touch cams - or play with cam timing settings.
Lets assume the exhaust adds 15HP. The tune 10. Intake cleanup 2-4.
I still then have room to go to N1's - or my own grind. I could possibly see 220 and probably will on the factory intake system.
Maybe once i am at 200HP the 65mm throttle may become a resriction - but for now its helping the engine produce more torque down low by increasing runner and port speed.
Im talking AUS/NZ dyno numbers - not the yankee happy ones. You yanks are struggling - so many big heads think they have figured the VE out - and you all follow eachother like sheep. We have a handful of VE's here and have the game sorted already.
I dont care for "smack" talk - big egos and so on. With some of the comments been thrown around - you wonder why people dont share information!!! You think ive told you guys every little piece that ive done to the motor?
