well the next one i have on the chopping block is getting the buttom end built to hold boost, and the heads will get oversized valves and its getting a t4 turbo, one should thing building a turbo motor to run say  7 to 9 psi boost ------  would have more then a little bit of get up and scoot, not to mention, lighten the fly wheel, advance the timing polish the heads junk the stock intake and make a shortram, atleast if your not going turbo, headers 2" or 2.5" exhause to a turbo muffler and some 29 MTRs and you would have a good little starting point

Thank you sir!
Great advice there!

on a race car i would lighten the flywheel, but on a 4x4 i would not.

it seems better (to me, at least) to have torque down low than a lot of hp up high.

I have to agree with you there beerman, a lighter flywheel will require the engine to have to work harder to get the larger offroad tires to move. If possible I would try to find a heavier flywheel, the more momentum of the flywheel makes for quicker starts
