Lets see if we can make yours run that sort of bhp

Bye bye vee
You know Etcha sketch rolling road is da best still was the most powerful 5 that day @ the R&R session with all the probs showing on the R&R not a bad result for 16psi either. God damm water injection damping the spark big time and massive overfueling with the MSM carb. You guys all know things changed straight after that session water injection dumped, MSM carb ditched, VNT setup properly to have full boost @ 2800rpm and 24psi of fanimold boost, and a properly fettled standard venturi carb for the boost and setup using my LM-1 (How I do miss that engine now).

[quote=Dave..H;63641]Well if this conversion doesn't work out for me I may consider turboing it sooner than planned or going back to C1J to the same spec as my last engine.You know Etcha sketch rolling road is da best still was the most powerful 5 that day @ the R&R session with all the probs showing on the R&R not a bad result for 16psi either.
