""need help"" own a stocko 3800 vp and wanting to really give it some horsepower

[boourns]

ha atm, free, well to put it in/change motors around it was 250, the story is my mate has a vp same as mine but one of my mates took it for a spin wasted, hit a corner at 90 ks and lost it hardcore in the dry "**** ass driver" and went straight into a fence n ****ed up the whole front right panel of his car, suspension etc, so he just said i could have the engine for 100. id say its been flogged a bit but 180 000 ks is better than 400 000 i guess

 

[The Darkness]

yeh better then nothing. you'll see when its all in i s'pose. maybe start with rockers, exhaust. then work from there

 

[boourns]

ive already got a 2 and a half inch ehaust system and extractors, should get high ratio roller rockers?

 

[The Darkness]

yeh from what i have heard they are a good option. if ur willing to open the motor up then the options are limitless. not really but you get my idea

 

[JUDDO13]

well there is a few things u could do
without opening up ur engine u coule get
CAI
KnN hi-flow panel
performance plugs(not sure which ones to recomend)
and some top-gun leads
but with opening ur enigine well theres many many manby things u can do
stroke it
bore it
shaved/ported/polished heads
bigger cam
rockers
and much more

 

[EAS01]

I wouldn't reccomend top gun leads... For reliability I always lean towards NGK spark plugs and leads. Just a matter of opinion I guess though.

have a performance chip installed in the ECU to start with then work it as much as you want. Without the chip or a mod theres no point in even thinking about anything else.
Once done chuck it on a dyno

Will save you fuel and give you some extra kilawattage
