I'm still wondering how he manages 690 whp from a 4.6 that ISNT a 6 bolt main block without having to pick up scattered connecting rod fragments every time he turns the key.

you would have a hard time pushing 400 hp out of the stock 4 bolt main...

im getting ready to get rid of it, im just not sure what i want to get out of it.
it just has to much power to drive on the street, and i know if i bolt the slicks up im going to break somthing

Status: offline 		Im wondering how he quadropled his HP in a CRX. No doubt you can do it, but it gets to a point at which nothing is stock. Theres no way that a stock tranny much less clutch could handle that. Not to mention the other drive train parts...

Status: offline 		Well, i have a 1988 Olds Delta 88 RB. I managed to hit a deer pretty hard with it today on my way to anoka tech college to start off my school day. The only damage I have is a broken grill plastic. Thank god I drive a tank, if it were a rice burner/import, the deer would have been the one to survive the incident. Them things fold up when you hit a june bug
