ya well it happens. I could have over 300 with those mods, but with it being s/c’d it puts alot of stress on the stock pistons. I’m not looking to upgrade those just yet so I’m gonnna knock down the timing a bit a run a lil rich to keep things on the safe side.

also u need to remember that the stock eaton is not very efficient over 16-17psi, and the stock cylinder head becomes a restriction at around 275. But these numbers would still make it respectable car, and “should” beat most K04 swapped vw’s 😉 . Now for me to get big numbers I would need to throw a new sc on there and a ported head, and some forged pistons, then I would be easy mid to upper 300’s which is alot on a fwd s/c’d car. Instant boost with that be fun to drive, but I would need new tires alot haha.
