Re: Engine Mods

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Houston is definitely not going anywhere near turbo/supercharging
(though Steve Wynn did mention NOS injection at SEDOC!). Their mods
are pretty conventional: free'er breathing intake (did anyone at SEDOC
notice Steve was also using a Volvo air filter housing), more
aggressive cams, headers, etc. Basically the same type products you'd
buy from Jeg's or Summit for domestic blocks.

Are you running manual or automatic transmission? If it's 5 speed you
should be able to get very satisfactory performance out of proper tune. 

If published HP number is scaring you, please see earlier posts of
current rice burner thread (now veered into new topic). Properly tuned
DeLo WILL pass the competition under load. If you're worried about
what to say when louvers are open, just tell curious "I'm not sure
exactly how many horses this particular engine has, but Houston dyno
tested theirs at 197". Both true statements BTW and you're off the
"130 HP" hook.
