Well if the cam and heads are stock with the same boost level as other setups, with a rotating assembly that got heavier and little was done in terms of reduced friction…then I cant say I see an area in the bottom end to gain 100hp over anyone else that has tried the same thing. The overall # looks fine, Im just trying to understand the difference between other setups and this.

If he upped compression that could certainly do it. Something with the piston design that reduced the potential for detonation could help, but for a 100 hp difference there would have to be some major problem. I’d say compression…
