U got a dyno sheet?

Here's the dyno sheet. nothing special but does the job.
Prob spent 2grand not including the engine.
The hose is 5/8 aeroquip push-on rated at 250psi.
Dosen't run where it is in the photo, runs to the front to a catch can.
The blue does fade over time.
No air, purely race car
One cooler is for steering, the other for engine

I did a 5lt VN EFI motor a while back, reasonable crow cam, good extractors and pipes, tuned etc managed a whole 165rwkw, they need some serious work to turn good numbers, that was on 27 inch tyres.

A stock Gen3 out of the box with tune extractors and pipes will make 240-245rwkw and you can buy complete motors for $1500.

Wat do yuo think it cost you to do the the whole 5.7 conversion including engine,tune,extractors, pipes, wiring, eg and all the litlle stuff we all forget to add into the budget

To be honest no idea, but if i wasn't willing to go the whole way and GEN3 it I would turbo the 6 instead which is what I ended up doing myself. You get way more go out of a mild turbo setup than a 5.0 setup dollar for dollar spent.
