Thing is, about my particular friend... like many other young tuners, he tends to blow things out of porportion...

170-180 to the wheels eh... that's about what I was guessing, giving him (or rather, the engine builders) the benefit of the doubt. I'll have to ask for a dyno on this "monster" when it's finished.

How much torque will this thing put out? I imagine not much more than a stock LS block, since his displacement is still 1.8L. I doubt the overall VE of the engine went up very much either, just a bit in the higher RPM and with an increased redline..

Anyway, thanks and keep it coming.
