that 3" exhaust he put on REALLY opened up breathing room for my manifold since i've never seen a KAT do 250rwhp @ 5psi on a 50trim. so i can only imagine what it was doing at higher boost.

worthless as well, its a bigger SR20. no balls down low. The only reason someone would go with it is for more torque. it doesnt supply it.
worthless is a strong word but bah.....

but i WILL go back to it. VQ45 or VQ41 (i think i have the letters wrong) but i know they went smaller displacement in the newer models and made more power. I also want to try a titan motor. 5.6 liter WHAT!!!!!!
back in the day i raced a v8 240sx it looked like your standard SB chevy. but he ran a 12 something. i think i left him at the line even with his auto. dunno if mabye it was a stock motor.....

something about pulling a long shaft outta the center of a motor scares me.

Phat ka-t is selling "Crower Stage 2 Cams" not sure if they open up the top end like cams do on an SR, though.

But even with that, all that happened was a blown headgasket and needing new head studs.. One time dyno magic?? ok..
My setup: 258/245 @ 5psi
Stock SR: ~250/?? @ 14psi
