just a thought...
I did a search or two and didnt find much of a result, so here I go. Has anybody tried blueprinting the SVT engine? It seems to me that these engines would be a pretty good starting point for a high revving engine build up. The heads flow really well, and can be made to flow better. Weve got a pretty tricky intake manifold and our engines make peak power right near redline as it is. In addition to this, the Duratech has got a pretty short stroke and comes stock with a forged crank and if i remembenr correctly forged connecting rods as well. It seems like a little crank balancing and head porting would yield an engine not completely disimilar to the NSX. Granted the NSX is 3.0 or 3.2 liters, but its got the aluminum block, 4 valve heads, 60 degree V6, comparable stroke, and the forged crank. I know its probably easier to go 3.0, but revving the 2.5 up to 8k rpm would yield you about 235 HP at the crank, and be one of the sweetest sounding V6s out there, with both the low end grunt afforded by the secondaries, and top end power of the 4 valve heads.
