Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some comments/suggestions on how to build up the engine in my 2000 GS-R.
I have been reading non stop for a while now, and have the basic mods done to my car - AEM CAI, DC 4-1 header and Greddy Evo cat back. Since the car only has 20k on it, I figure the stock cat isn't a bottleneck in this setup and I'll probably leave that on there for now anyways.
My goal: I want to stay all motor, and am looking at trying to hit about 200whp. (i know peak isn't the most important thing, but it's just a number I am thinking). I'd like my powerband to be in the upper range, around 6000 (or 5500 if possible) all the way up to 8000, without sacrificing a ToN of mid range power (would like to keep that above stock)
I am considering the skunk2 stage 1 cams, valve springs and either skunk or AEM adjustable cam gears as my cam setup of choice. It also seems that the skunk2 intake manifold would be a good choice once the cams are installed. For tuning, I am thinking a VAFC.
Am I on the right track?
thanks!
Mike
