Put a couple more bolt on mods and an exhaust system and you could have around 160rwkw

haha thx for that man, lets hope 1000

Well its impossible to say how much power your engine may or may not be able to produce on the information you have supplied. 100-1000 rwkw is possible, what exactly do you plan to do to it? Whats your budget, thats often the best indication. Lower budget means lower power and/or quality. Higher budget means higher power and/or quality.

Cheap, fast, and reliable. You can only ever choose two of those options.

do all that work and then strap a raptor onto the side of it and it'll be a bit more impressive

Nahh get a nice big turbo on the side, that would get ya some decent power!

lol doesnt look like he's touching the bottom end although that turbo could remove it from the engine for him... apparently raptors are soft on the bottom end (emphasis on the apparently) which is why i suggested it

good cam, about 11:1 compression, extractors with a twin 2.25 (2.5 too big) and a good custom tune should get you about 210kw at the flywheel. at the wheel figure will depend on alot of variables, i.e. diff ratio, auto or manual, wheel size. but in a worst case scenario of 25% (if your getting that rethink wheel size) the would mean about 165-170 at the rear treads

Already have it chipped, extractors, 2.5 inch exhaust, cats, cold air intake, but 160 would be good :)
