I strongly disagree.

Jesse's engine: 10 to 1, SVT cams, 3L heads & valves!, All SVT bolt-ons.

If anything it flows better then an SVT with the larger valves and 3L heads. Especially for an FI'd engine. The port sizes alone are 3-4mm larger at the valves.

IIRC did not Jiako (sp???) dyno around 195/185 with a basic, straight 3L swap with just SVT cams (240/205 at the crank!) STOCK PCM! NO TUNING!

Now use that for an improvement comparison... (80HP/55TQ)
I thought IMO I was looking good before and you folks keep helping my cause.

Who's next...

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
