I will be mainly running E85. I will have a flex fuel sensor and a 93 octane tune just in case I am out and about with no E85 available. I am ok with running as much boost as necessary to make power goals. That is why I am attempting to "over-build" the longblock. My tuner is amazing and has decades of experience...with the Haltech, we can have selectable maps that are conservative for road trips and daily driving...and separate maps for track/strip/being stupid when the need arises.slowsixtyduece wrote: ↑Thu May 18, 2017 6:10 pm Your 200hp goal will also greatly depend on how much boost you are running, gas octane and state of tune. Id imagine you will be able to hit your goal once you have it dialed in.
A few reasons....slowsixtyduece wrote: ↑Thu May 18, 2017 6:10 pm Why not just buy a bigger crank and make it a stroker from the get go?
1. I have the L5 Heads and want to use them. I feel that a larger engine will require more head.
2. Transmissions to handle much over 250HP are quite expensive.
3. I have a close friend with a 2275 that makes over 300HP at the tires and is daily driver dependable. That's too much for my car... way too much.
4. I have wanted to build a 1915 for a while.
5. Everybody has a stroker.
6. I like the idea of a peaky, ill mannered, demon possessed, two-strokish powerband. LOL
