And the owner was still working on the tune. I don't think he needed to go over 5,000 rpm to do those numbers either. I understand he's working on a twin-turbo FE hemi SOHC next.
9,000 rpm  why? just to get 350 HP? a big block can make 350 HP right out of a clapped out 1967 LTD with a little freshening. You got to know what to spend your time on/with. |
Well 350hp is at about 7400, it'll rev to 8800-9000. In addition to my Cobra I have one of these little pocket-rockets, and with the help of AWD and a 4800rpm rev limiter (for clutch dump launching on 6psi of boost) it's showed it's tail to quite an array of high dollar Fast cars. It's a total sleeper. There are many 1st get mitsus running upwards of 550hp on stock blocks and cranks, they were very well engineered little motors.
