tekaani Legacy Donating Member 163 Member For: 17y 3m 9d Posted 26/05/11 09:55 AM Posted 26/05/11 09:55 AM having a built bottom end wont give you more power, just support it
QWK40L Member 11 Member For: 15y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: SYDNEY Posted 26/05/11 11:00 AM Author Posted 26/05/11 11:00 AM yeah your right, which means I can up the boost and throws some more timing in it and gain more power.

Legacy Donating Member 2,068 Member For: 16y 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/05/11 01:37 AM Posted 27/05/11 01:37 AM As much as it makes sense the power should be the same I keep reading stories that after the rebuild/ swapover there was more power.I'm thinking of buying an atomic engine to save myself the headache if finding an engine builder.

Most importantly the product stacks up, over and over again.You have some good hardware in place don't waste it.+ a modicum of peace of mind.I would also do oil pump gears if relevant
