I guess you won’t know till you dyno it. good luck sweet ride not sure yet, it all depends on what turbo setup i decide on. probably gonna build it to fit into NOPI rulebook for Pro Outlaw RWD. current largest twins you can run are two 66mm’s but i doubt i will run that large with 2.6L of displacement. ---
