crank HP as for the trans i am looking into a manual swap its so much more fun to drive than a slush box. as for the turbo selection the main limiter on the 617 it seems is the god awful breathing habits of the head forcing you to run obscene pressure ratios to get enough air in the cylinders. the stock ports barely flow enough for the stock power. i am hoping to solve this with aggressive porting and good manifolds. however i might have to go with bigger valves but thats its own pile of fun. as i said before this build is not only for more power but its a fun exercise for me. i enjoy working on something challenging. i have seen JTY's build i am also keeping an eye on Robin Eklund and his 617 (search that name on youtube he's the one with the ~450 wheel hp build the Dieselmeken posted) they both have impressive builds and i am hoping to get somewhere near there one day. however this is not a rapid project i don't have the tooling or funding myself to do most of this in any quick manner so its a long term project.
