deankxf 20,288 Posted March 3, 2020 i read all that, and was like where's the next page. but the gist of it.. correct Me if I'm wrong make sure the exhaust isn't a restriction.., if it makes more power with a bigger exhaust.. the old one was a restriction. (surprised to not read something saying, smallest diameter that isn't restrictive is the goal... or similar? ) inlet flow potential. basically work out what you want the engine for.. and choose a cam and headwork/compression/intake based on that. horsepower is a calculation that is derived from RPM.. more revs = more HP.. how high do you want(can you afford) to rev the thing and what for? if you like cruising on the highway at 1700rpm with a 2.77 diff and T5 in overdrive.. there's no point making an engine that revs to 7000 and is a pig at 3000 surely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted March 3, 2020 Mine revs to 8200 yet drives around at 2000 around town very easy? Sits on 3150 for 100kph thru a 5700 convertor But do relate the above to performance engines. Just it has solid info that is helpful for use on a build. 2 bear351c and deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
