power estimate

[Bubba]

does anyone know what rough power i might be looking at with this setup

C20XE
86.5mm omega pistons
Kent AST1603 cams (with pullys)
R1 carbs
ported & polished
polished valves
lightened flywheel

i know i would probably get more power from bigger valves but i cant really afford to go and do that (yet)

i did say when i started i would like to try and get 225, optimistic but i would be happy with 200

185-195 i'd be looking at...

[Bubba]

sounds good enough to me lol

I think 175bhp maybe a little more on carbs TBH. It would all be in the set up.

Will sound 'mazing and very revvy. You'll love it.

BHP isn't everything its made out to be...... Pub talk and nothing else.

estimating power is no use unless you are specific about the head porting. it is such a black art that a lot of porting probably does nothing..

the group a astras were making 230hp on 'standard' top ends.
