170 vs. 225

That was my plan for the manifold. 2.25 or 2.5 inch j pipe with whatever flange i use turbo wise. I'm going to look around to see what i can find turbo wise. I can easily get my hands on a holset hx35. The nly problem there is the high wastegate but that can be adjusted. Might be to much for the slant though.

bill will know better but i think 5-10 on a stock bottom end wouldn't be an issue. any more and your gonna want K1/molnar rods and forged pistons. alot of these guys like low comp but that just takes away from off boost performance :D
