[DML] RE: PRV Performance

["secret_jedi_guy" <secret_jedi_guy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been following this thread for a while and it is starting to 
get a little bit ugly.  However, I am going to have to agree with 
Robert on this one.  If you say you can get a good amount of power 
out of the engine then prove it.  It is easy for me SAY that my 
engine outputs 250 bhp without turbo or supercharging it, and since 
no one else but me drives my car everyone else has no choice but to 
take my word for it and ask me how I did it only for me to say 
that's gonna cost you.  

We are all in the same boat (most of us) with the PRV and would like 
to get some horsepower without swapping the engine and trans.  This 
car is unique and the PRV is one of those things that makes it 
unique, but the 130 HP in today's world of driving is not enough.  I 
got forced off of the freeway on Saturday because I couldn't get 
around an 18 wheeler fast enough and he started to move over and 
couldn't see me.  

DMCH will swap my current engine with a new crate PRV with their 
stage mods for $6225.  I went to a Bill Heard Chevy in Vegas a 
couple of months ago and they said that they would give me an 
automatic Corvette trans and a 350 ci HO Deluxe engine (completely 
assembled, carb, water pump, belts, etc.) for $5000.  This engine is 
actually physically smaller than the PRV  but gives me 350 HP.  For 
a new engine and trans that gives more HP at a lower cost than a new 
Stage 2 PRV and no new transmission, I will gladly deviate from 
stock.  And I can even tune that engine to get me 400 HP without 
turbo charging it in any way.

I would be perfectly content with my PRV if I could get it past the 
210 hp mark and someone would say how, but until then, I'm probably 
gonna dump it and sell it.
