Stock VE cams. I/H/E only. Basic chip (Calum I think) but no serious tuning whatsoever.
I grilled both him and Jerry about the modifications. Both had a "cone type" intake, one had a Fuji, one had an SSAC. Both had exhausts (don't remember the diameter) and a Calum basic chip (I think....).
I was an "inquiring mind" because I am thinking the same set-up would be SWEET in my Classic. Nothing special, nothing fancy, not even cams and there was Zero Doubt that both cars were much, much, faster in a straight line.
Same with Chriscar's B13. I/H/E only, VE motor, no aftermarket cams, basic chip - no serious tuning. Waaaaay more whp than my DE, although he has not dyno'd his car.
I've *probably* got about 135-140'ish whp. Jumping up to 180'ish whp should put a big-ass grin on my face for quite a while.
^Good deal. I wasn't 100% sure on the cams, that's why I said he might need to chime in. I know he mentioned SR16VE cams on the ride to the dyno. Again the car pulled could and it is clean.
^Key phrase,
"set up right". I think everybody in here knows that a DE is no VE. Forum post get taken out of context a lot, but it is what it is. There are some many different variables and scenarios this discussion can be on going. Again VE is a better engine, yes.
