Setup:
'97 B20b block
Stock pistons and rods
ARP rod bolts
Cylinders honed, new rings and bearings etc
'99 GSR head
Aftermarket flat face valves, swirl polished and such
Cleanup/blending in the intake throats behind the valve seats
Aftermarket retainers and locks
Looks like stock dual springs
Nice valve job
GSR cams
Skunk2 IM
DC Sports 4-2-1 header
2.25" exhaust, no cat, thrush muffler
4" intake pipe with cone filter
9.5:1 compression
Use: Spirited daily driver and weekend race/fun car
Makes enough power and torque to pull my boss's 2012 GTI, I estimate 160whp and 99mph traps based on previous cars i've owned and raced. The goal was not and is not a 9k rpm, super high output race engine. Just a fun swap that moves out and gets good mileage. With the stock GSR cams the motor is pretty much done pulling after 7500rpm. Rev is at 8k for reliability and safety of the engine, stock dual valve springs etc but I know a good cam upgrade will make more power than stock cams from 5k up so I will still be able to take advantage of more aggressive cams with an 8k rev limit, especially with the 2.0. Sorry for the novel, just trying to lay down as much information as possible. Oh, and ptv clearance is not an issue i've got plenty of that. I will probably go with a better header and bigger exhaust soon too. Would love to see 180whp on the mustang dyno I use. Cam recommendations plzz
