Well, from your 'research' thus far, what have you come up with? It can't all be crap and if you truly think it is crap, then at least use that as a starting point for further reading/searching.

You had to have pulled some idea of what turbo and what engine components need to be used to get to 300whp from your 'research'.

How about the SC61 to start with?

I know this can get frusratting.

E-mail me at speedtrapp@wideopenwest.com Tell me what chassis and motor you're running and what kind of goals you're looking for in terms of power, drivability, and purpose. I guess I'm a sucker for a newbie.. But in the meantime, check out some other sites as well to try and even answer a couple of questions to get you started.

well, with your goal of 300whp, you should be able to do that safely on a stock block with good tuning. why spend money building the engine when you could spend it on good fuel management to meet your goal.....dont overdo yourself in terms of what you want.
