Jesusbernal249's LSVTEC build thread: what to do next?
 

So i have this lsv thats running at 185 hp. I know thats good hp especially for a hatchback but I wanted to get it up to 200 hp. Any suggestions of what I can add on?? Yes ive searched throughout the forum but everyone talks about NA B20vs instead of LSvs
im running with
-greedy headers
-hookups manifold
-eagle rods
-CTR pistons
-pr3 head
-b18b block
-thicker headgasket
-3" full exhaust straight pipe

Skunk2 pro1 / buddy club spec 4 / similar to those nature cams
Ported head
E85 fuel
3" exhaust
dyno tuned

sorry i forgot to say but i have the 3" full exaughst straight piping and running with a ported head on ctr pistons. I'd basically just add the bigger cams but I read I'd have to upgrade my retainers and valve springs as well. Is that correct??

That's awesome! I just wouldn't build like yours haha. I'm looking to just change out a couple stuff cause I have another engine I'm trying to build too and you know it gets expensive x) I'm already at 185 whp so I'm almost there! That's without the dyno tune or changing the map layout for my p73. Which I will change out for the p28 cause a lot of my homies prefer it. No clear reason why though haha any clue Why??

if youre at 185 without a tune go tune it
ull probably end up being 190-200Whp

Find some Crower 402-2 or 403-2 and tune it on e85. You'll love it! 🤗
