I'll be flat out honest with you. I'm going to call jet and tell them what I am going to run, and see if they can get a roundabout ecu set up for me. that way, I don't have to change any wiring, and it'll be plug and play. (plus I can fine tune with the AFC in that manner) And I also was under the impression that if I used the ITB's, the port size really wouldn't be that major of a problem. After all, the intake will be controlled by the ITB's. I wouldn't think the flow characteristics would really hurt power. I figured there would be a torque loss, but not that major of one.

IF the 272 cams are running well for you, I might just go that route. What did they run you? Also, what are you thinking for a redline. I was thinking 6500-6800. Probably 6500 because the block will have 120k miles on it. that coupled with a .7 or .5mm metal head gasket could lead to compression worries.

I figure all that would Easily topple the 130 hp mark. Throw on a few basics (header, exhast work, UDP) and it could make considerably more power. In the end. I'd like to see how it would run agains a stock 7afe turbocharged. Were i to rebuild the block properly, I think the all motor 7a with a bit more compression and the above head work would easily take a 7afte. But price wise... I will probably end up spending more money.

However, when I set out on this I said it would be a reliable DD, not a weekend race car. I just want a little more under my right foot. Plus, it's going to be a fun little project.
