So, i'm about done doing just about every bolt on to my 3L hybrid, so i'm thinking of getting another 3L block and building another 3L hybrid block from the ground up. I was thinking about doing a few things different though.
First of all, how much could i mill off of the head to bring the compression ratio even higher? Or would i be better off trying to find higher CR pistons?
I was thinking of doing a 3L block, 02 cougar heads with 3L valves, and possibly a 3L intake manifold. That way it has the best of all 3 worlds. Higher compression ratio, moves more air though the motor, and better oiling.
I'm not saying i'm going to go do this next week, or even next year, i'm just brain storming. I'm trying to find a way to make the most N/A HP out of a 3L. I'd love to go turbo, but i want to try something a little different. Plus, for the price of a new turbo kit, i could build a 3L that has the potential to make 250 or so whp.
