Yeah the ole 20th started with 30 more hp's at the crank and had about $3k worth of bolt-ons. I wish I had done a dyno on it.MT-Getto wrote:And yeah J, damn that 20th.......... that car set the bar pretty high. Not sure what the HP was on the 16v. Should have been right around 175 or maybe a little higher with the catback, cams and chip?
I'm still a long way from being finished with this build. Once I have everything mechanical and electrical sorted, I can worry about getting it dialed in and tuned.
Definitely the biggest performance difference I noticed was the 3" GHL/Milltek turbo back. That made it a whole different animal, at least based on my seat of the pants dyno. There was a huge difference between the profile of the stock TIP and the Samco unit I had.
It will definitely get there man, like you said once you have it electrically and mechanically sorted it is all down hill from there!
The good news is that you are on the downside of parts pricing at this point. Everything I got in 2003 was pretty new to the market and if I hadn't worked that deal with Morgan I never would have been able to afford any of it! lol.
