RE: NA builds. How far to go?
What he ^^^ says Smile 160 hp at the wheels takes a bit of effort and careful
planning. I can't speak for the 3-rib engine but I made 130 hp at the wheels on
a Dynapack with an unopened 7-rib with a few bolt-ons, 272 deg cams, AE101
ITB's, stock cast iron exhaust manifold, 2" exhaust and aftermarket ECU with
a DIY on the road tune.

I was aiming for 150 hp at the wheels, and might have got there with a decent
set of headers, a 2-1/4" exhaust and a proper dyno tune. But a bunch of stuff
got stolen out of the car including the ECU, so I'll never know what it might have
done on the dyno.

The 4AGE is a small engine and you need to use every trick you can discover to
help it make torque. Otherwise you will finish up having to rev the crap out of the
engine to have any fun. No problem on the track, but it gets a bit tiresome on
the road.
