180whp in a VE is nothing. If you want a 180 whp car you might as well build a DE like Kojima did for less money than a VE.
I make 160whp on 10* timing and 171whp at 19* timing with a DE with S4 cams and bolt ons.
Im trying to aim for at least 215whp on the VE. Then ill add nitrous on top of that.
A DE on nitrous is pretty damn quick and a different story. Not fast, just quick when you want it. And quick is what you need in a race. Ive given 3 VE'd and 3 DET (T25 and T28) powered cars ass whoopings. However, I was on the bottle for all those runs.
Now when it comes to all motor against all motor.....
VE OWNS the DE on ANY day in a straight line. Period. End of story.
A Naturally Aspirated cammed DE is a joke nowadays.
