> I wouldn’t go as far as 50 percent more ponies…YOu can also look at how many engines flavio popped. And if they are soo sweet why would he swap it out for an RB? Seriously my RB20 is pretty quick i just hate the bottem end power…first gear is useless. Will rip on any 350 and lighly modded SR’s

they’re sweet because they are a great motor with tons and tons of potential… turbocharging anything that wasnt turbo before is going to cause popped motors and i bet most if not all of those dead motors were not rebuilt for boost. the RB was probably a sound alternative after spending so much learning about turbocharging a KA. That Said, cranking the boost up crazy high will cause it to pop even an RB. I’m not saying the RB20 is a bad engine… I personally just enjoy the KA better.
