you'd figure with the ported heads and all u would be over 300 to the wheels

just seems like alot of money for such little power. those engines arent cheap.

i bought it used with 2500 miles on it...i paid 1800 bucks for the complete engine minus longtube and radiator and nitrous...also got a wc t5 with upgraded internals 2500 miles on it as well and king cobra clutch with same mileage for another 700......i havent had it tuned i am just going by what the guy showed me..i have some stuff off of my old engine that i added so i may have more than that just going by his dyno slip......so i think i did pretty well all that with low mileage for 2500$...i aint complaining
