The rebuild will be expensive...
Do you know what kind of boost levels he was running to hit 347? For your average 4 cyl. turbo to make that kind of power...I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-28# of boost. There isnt a production car made that will handle that kind of boost (for long anyway) without letting go sooner or later. Bet it was fun to drive tho
Just for the sake of argument
I know of a Camaro guy with a 250 shot of nitrous on his internally stock LS1. Stock its about a 300 RWHP car...so with the nitrous, thats, what, around 500+ RWHP? Same deal as the Miata tho...it WILL NOT hold up long.
I'm not trying to turn this into another Camaro vs Miata argument...just pointing out some automotive misnomers
Oh, and to those who say a Camaro cant be made to handle well (not stock) because of its weight or whatever.... come drive mine
Bet I can change your mind.
Very looow center of gravity + lots of suspension and handling goodies + big fat grippy rubber = CORNER CARVER hehe
I know I know a Miata can be modded to out handle me. I know. Just saying...the big fat muscle cars can hold their own
