Ok here is what we are doing next. Decided to clip the heads to raise compression to about 10.4-1( he told me exact specs??) , doing a mild port job, putting on a 58mm throttle body and bigger injectors. Guess we will see where it comes out. Not proven but time will tell how it ends up. I do know once we clip the heads this much no going back...
Shooting for 115HP and a 120 lb. of torque with a better/longer torque curve.....

ANY THOUGHTS????
