I found they don't make power down low. They feel like a rev hard engine to me , not a perfect motor for towing horse floats. A turbo 6 with a Fg turbo or a gtx3576r will give you more torque at a lower rpm I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRLENTFG Member 5 Member For: 10y 7m Gender: Female Location: Darwin Posted 23/09/13 01:41 AM Author Share Posted 23/09/13 01:41 AM (edited) Ok I will look into it! Haha yes I had a feeling because of the forum I posted on it may be a bit biased I originally wanted to go turbo but had someone try talk me out of it saying that the turbo would be unreliable. But I think I will do some more hunting for a cheap one or just get a turbo engine and gear box!

Cheapest and money for value get a v2 from capa. 7400 for 8psi kit with injectors and intercooler. Kennen bell set up looking over 10000 Easley without anything else. I looked at them some years back just sold the 8 and got a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
