Most threads ive seen put the proof up without being asked anyway, just for good reading, and maybe even education of other forum users.

195 is good though, on a standard head, also believable. I managed 162 on a completely standard 20XE with just a rebuilt GM head.

Fastest cars in the scene eh, in the willy waving pub talk bhp sort of scene or actual motorsport ?

He can prove me wrong all he likes, he has already back tracked several times and said its the same spec that SBD list for 270 hp which is 10k of anyones money.

I, unlike you are fully aware what it takes to get that power, clearly when the user starts quoting what I say about the costs of exhausts it shows he has NO idea what is involved in putting together such a package.

I'm not surfing the forums to start arguments with anyone and I have a massive interest in atmo engines and for that reason have done my homework on whats needed to build a proper one.

ps read my sig

Olly Hewitts engine was 197hp on a stock engine, jenvey tb's, ashley manifold and AST 1612 cams.

That was on a REAL set of rollers I might add.

Seems about right from what ive seen. Theres a lot of other contributing factors other than the basics of the engine also, as we all know.

It would be impressive to see a 275bhp C20xe built on a budget. But how reliable will it be, dont forget Eff=1-CR^(1-k)

What issue is it in?

Also, i like your comment about him building it himself, and being his pride. I always respect that and always enjoy reading a thread much more.

I think everybody is just trying to say his goals are optimistic. No need to get all Jacky Chan on us!
