    Chunky made 243whp sae with a mild k20 with ips k2s. I never drove that k24 but I'm sure it was fast, just compared to other people it seemed like it was missing a few horses, but again numbers aren't everything.

    Mike jones h23 makes 25X with stage 2 skunk2 cams, ported head, oem intake manifold, Kidd header and prob cost 1/4 to build than what that inline pro k24 cost.

    I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. I wouldn't be claiming numbers or hanging onto a huge number, 270whp is not easy to make and is a ton of power. In my experience when you set yourself up and build up to a number that big if you only make 250-260 you're gonna be pissed and dissapointed. Cause in all motor there is no turning the boost up etc. You're also gping to have to eat a lot of crow if it doesn't make huge numbers.

    I'd rather underestimate than overestimate. I'd rather speak softly and carry a big stick :p

    I hope you make a ton of power 270 is HUGE numbers and you have my header, but just also understand there's other cars out there that might make 220 and run you down.

    Numbers aren't everything and debating it back and forth makes us all look like bench racers.

    I would never build a k, that's just me. Others would. To each his own

    I've seen over 250whp locally from an H-Frankenstein...10 years ago.

    I know where two of these engines are still sitting begging to be put into cars too lol!
