Stu Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 hopfully get 250-300bhp for time being, and then in the future i'll be rebuilding it again and hunting for more around 500bhp, and ill be having it converted to 4x4 or 2wd ill deffinatly be getting a professional to do all that tho lol You will need to reconsider your choice of pistons then as the JE's give you a much too high compression ratio if they're standard off the shelf ones.. I have Piper springs off the shelf if you need some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
