    Decisions, decisions...

    My friend was telling me the other day that a weber carb, mild reground cam, header, exhaust, ignition, and stage 1 clutch would only get me to about 115hp. All this stuff I want to do, and he telling me only 115 makes me sad. He said that the displacement of our engines limits the potential of these mods. What do you guys think?

    Thanks.

    I think 2L is enough displacement to work with. My guess for the HP you would be putting out is 115HP at the wheels or maybe even more. Plus the 15% or so loss through drivetrain woul dmean something like 130+HP

    Yeah, thanks Yasu. Thats more what I was looking for. I think my friend gets pleasure from telling me I'm wrong or something . By the way, I got a cam at the junkyard, and I'm gonna send it to Geoff this summer. Thanks, Yasu.
