179 vs 304

[oOSparkyOo]

Hey just wanted to know what power a worked 179 would put out compared to a 304injected v8 in a vr ute

 

[millaz88]

how much work? i seen some good turboed ones go off there heads

Pour $10k into a 179 and the same into a 304 and the 5 litre will be so far in front it's not funny presuming they are both in the same chassis.

i meant like if the worked 179 went up against a stock 304 would it have a chance

 

[GetToDaChopa]

Probably not, unless you spend crap loads of money on it.

i dont know my mate had a bathurst spec 186 (apparently) in a eh sedan and it used to smash alot of vn vp 5Ls

my old man had a turbo 179 in his eh stationwagon when the vn ss's first came out it was was like comparing an ls1 to a sigma, holdens new efi 5ltr never had a chance, and it was all done on a budget, oh and 20 psi helped

What does "worked" mean? It could mean any combination of things. You need to be specific.

Hey, Sigma's are awesome

 

[walesy]

yes i agree i love sigmas too but when you line one up against an ls1 the outcome is obvious

Spend enough money on it and you will leave a stock 5 litre for dead. Stupid comparo actually.
