That's why I'm going to use one in the track car.

guess you dont get the hate on ka's so i can get more core motors.

Actually, my setup was very reliable and daily driven. Never had one single issue out of it once it was tuned and the initial quirks worked out. (Greaser built too btw) The only reason anything happened to it is because I up'd the boost (hose came off wastegate) somewhere between 17 and 20 psi and did around 6/7 pulls on that with stock head studs, stock headgasket.. But even with that, all that happened was a blown headgasket and needing new head studs.. One time dyno magic?? ok..

My setup: 258/245 @ 5psi
Stock SR: ~250/?? @ 14psi

edit: and cost of my setup?? A measly $2800 for motor and turbo setup.

haha 17 psi was fun..i can easily vouch that it was doing well over 400whp on the stock rods at the time and all it did was blew a headgasket
