JBrady,
My original plan was to throw an M112 at low boost because of a local deal I was considering but the deal fell through. I switched up my game plan and landed a 1998 SC400 VVTi motor, trans, ECU and harness. I just need to know the BHP limit this baby can take.
Half of me is thinking of stage II lextreme cams, rush long tubes, and a 2.25" exhaust to get around 380BHP. Maybe a SAFC neo to tie it all together.
"OR"
Mount the headers and exhaust but leave the cams off and add a 50 shot and leave it alone. This would net the same BHP
I really dont want to crack this motor open to swap rods and rebuild since it only has 80,000 on it. Mostly i'm just trying to find a safe BHP ceiling I can trust so I can start this buildup.
