Check out a SVO newsgroup or website.You can make a 2.3L with well over
300-400hp! Benefits are insurance, lighter, and gas. Oh and not to mention whooping SOME 8 cylinders and the gratification you can get from it. "elaich" > wrote in message ... > who's driver wants a bit more power, and the torque band moved down to > around 3Gs so I can use it on the highway? |

What's the single best thing to do to a 2.3....
I've seen some very strong 2.3s in the past.... unfortunately, the
crankshafts aren't built to take that kind of torque/HP and reliability suffers. Additionally, reaping that kind of power can be spendy and turn a car into something that get's worked on more than it gets driven.... I'm an old timey kinda guy - even at todays gasoline prices, there is no replacement for displacement.

I know you want to know 1 single thing, but, I did a cam change, Offy intake and a header. This resulted in a engine that would rev nicely with good power and still got me 25mpg with a 3spd auto. |
