Rep Power: 275 uprade the clutch is a must if you plan on takeing it to the track. i originally made 176hp with the kit by itself.but have added to it since then.i also have the comp cam, springs and retaners now and i know the engine can make more power with a little massageing.
also i just had to replace the head gasket.i think the boost had a lot todo with this. again you may not have to worry about this but be warned- it is hard to go slow with that turbo spooling up all the time. all u want to do is floor it!
oh and put bigger injectors in there.
