Hi guys i would like to have my engine built starting with 300hp but then go up from there.So i know i should go forged rods,pistons some cams and obviously turbo.Can i get other peoples opinion so i know what to talk about with my engine builder,so he doesnt build it limited to 300hp.

Tell him exactly what you want and he'll build to suit.depends how big your wallet is.you will be upgrading everything in the motor.valves,springs,crank you name it if you want big power all will need to be upgraded

Hi datrotor i thought that the standard crank would be ok.I have a bare head so new valves etc to.with double valve springs does that mean theres two in one or they are just chunckier.

It could be okay but depends how much more over 300 you want? I wouldnt think you'd be able to push much more out then 300 without massive money on a ca.double springs are exactly that a heavy outer spring then a 2nd spring inside

Thanks for the imput i dont have a thick wallet but are taking as long as it takes to do it the way i want.Its atleast 4yrs from completion and cant wait to spool it up.Juts talked to my builder and he said that it will cost me between 7 and 10 g but thats everything.

If your supplying motor probly about right.computer alone is 2-2500.you planing to do most work by your self?

Guys i forgot to ask,i took the cam gear cover off and they are purple(cam gears).Are they the stock or are they aftermarket?

Hey mate, check out lewis engines. They have a couple of package for different power goals so you can get an idea of what the different requirements area. I think the 2.3 stroker is a typo though....
