What would you do? Slant performance
-There is just 3 ways to make more power; rpm, cid, or supercharging. And if you choose rpm; you always trade away low rpm for high rpm
100% incorrect,increasing efficiency makes more power.Whether it is mass air,
combustion,fuel distribution/mixture/quality,timing optimization,or intake/exh. tract
tuning. ANY increase in torque is an increase in power automatically,regardless of the
RPM it is increased at,and ANY increase in efficiency is an increase in torque regardless
of the RPM just the same.
There's an old rule of thumb that is almost true every time,there is nearly a full
second of ET left on a new engine package after it's 1st solid pass,with no eng. com-
ponent changes at all. I've seen that prove out many times.Sometimes you get the
lucky "hit",and the car runs like a raped ape out of the gate, and there is only a couple
tenths left in it.But that's not the rule.
As much compression the fuel your using will allow,is a win top to bottom.
The 225 is only second worst to the 2.5L for valve size/displacement deficiency
Porting a stock valved head is a good way to piss away your time for nothing.
Use carburetion just a little more than you need and DIAL IT IN !!
A better cam is a must, but you can't go far B4 you'll need a torque converter.
A tuned and unrestricted exh. is self explanatory,conservative primaries.
Giving you actual numbers/specs/recommendations would require knowing what you
are willing and capable of doing, and putting up with driveability wise.This ?? has been
done to death in this forum,search & read for a Sunday here,plenty of coverage.
