3rd headswap or blower this time?
Hello to all, Its been years since Ive been out of the game.... NOT "THEGAME", as in SD Wheeler, and old friend of mine that some of you all know. But Im welcome to be back
Got a used 97 gt today. and am deciding what to do, headswap, or blower....
Now mind you, Ive done 3 headswaps in my old 98 (blew two motors from bad cam setup and spray), ran pretty stout numbers untuned with shorties and was the first to run regrind cams in any 2v car in the nation, so you could say I know a thing or two about the headswap. I dont need a lesson on it.
However, I feel slightly ignorant to some of the new technology to the 2v's Back then, the well tuned cars with Lt's, good port job, and cams were running 290-330rwhp, with craig from down here in houston having the highest hp at around 330rwhp I believe.
To the point, Im not looking to build a street beast, but back then swapping 2v heads, porting them, adding cams (reground bc there was no billets so we had to use lash caps under the lifters...ehhh) was not all that exciting. What numbers are the 2v's putting out, how much are reground cams, and what numer are you blower guys with non pi heads putting out, if any of you still exist. What route would you go
Thanks for any input..
