Here is my opinion on this topic... There is NO reason to go to a 160 stat on a stock CFI motor. You will not see any gains at all. Once the stat is full open, it is full open at 160. It will only...

Well, first off, since you don't really care about originality, go with a roller retro kit and be done with it. So, you don't need a 3/4 cam? Maybe a 1/2 or full cam? :rofl: I don't think you will...

300hp is not that difficult to do, but a stock ECM is not the way to go with that task. It will take some tuning to get you there along with some other small mods, but at that point, you will go over...
