Hey, You callin' me a Wussy
Keep in mind that 200RWHP will be 230ish at the crank so we're talking less than 10 lbs/hp. I fully expect that we'd be able to run 14 second 1/4 miles without much trouble with that power/weight ratio. I also just finished a warmed over engine in my Datsun and don't really want to get any deeper into this one than manifolding. Maybe if I can stumble on a set of SVT cams at a reasonable price. Still, if all out power was the goal we'd have gone small block. It's been done so there's not much to figure out and there is no better hp/$ ratio to be had. I can build $10/hp small blocks all day long. The goal is to put a modern DOHC EFI engine with good reliability and performance at a minimum of cost. 175hp is about as much as you can get out of the stock engine and it ain't cheap to do. The TR's bottom end is also notoriously weak. Bone stock the Duratec will beat up on a hot Triumph motor so we should be pretty fast... For wussy's anyway
