FAST.....

i dont rekon mine makes anymore than 120 TOPS way more likely around 110, and it kills my mates commodores and what not.

yeah 110 at the fly, this is a complete assumption just going on by similar motors with similar upgrades.

yeah eats Holden 3.8's, and i wouldn't really say keeps up, but my escort does put up a fight against my mates manual BA xr6's

i am constantly finding myself playing tiggy with xr8's and SS's on the highway...by tiggy i mean they fly past me, then after they slow down i throttle it and fly past them [:x)]

nobody ever expects it!!

no dramas pal sounds good atleast now i have some sought of idea wat im lookin into,cause as i said im a pinto powered escort virgin but im lookin to do the conversion in my mk1 soon....

My pinto is about the 170hp mark or maybe a bit more. Haven't put it on dyno yet. Motor owes me a bit though. My MK2 beats most standard v8's. I have tall gearing for the highway. 2900 rpm @ 100kph. if had 3.7 or 3.9 gears would be alot quicker off the line.

whao thats awesome,how much does the pinto owe you?if you dont mind? i cant wait to start my build up

Unfortunately it owes me well over 10K.

bajesus think i will be lookin into a turbo pinto thanks for the advice and heads up on cost to run that power NA...
