Hey guys just wondering how much power I could get out of a street performance SOHC build? Like one that would be good without going turbo.

edit: What also would all be considered a performance build (aka what all would be changed)? and what are your recommandations on parts and such.

 

Depends on how crazy you wanna go with it. Big cam, pistons and so on. There is a 200+ HP SOHC owned by a guy named Roach, but it was an impressive build.

 

how much power do u think i could get out of a build for less than like 2k? and again what all would be good things to get down? (like compression ratio's and such). what type of of cam would you suggest?

 

Here are two lists...pick one.

Budget SOHC build:
*Magnum cam and springs for $125
*UDP $50 from eBay
*3.0L intake = $50 with K&N filter
*Used Pacesetter header = $85, new gasket $10
*Mopar PCM ~ $150 used
*12:1 compression JE pistons and eagle rods ~$500
*ATX TB = $50 used
*DOHC muffler = ~$25-$50
*Prothane Motor mount inserts - $45
*Used stock rear sway bar - ~$50-$100
*Used Koni's - ~$400
*Look into porting and polishing the head, while you are installing the pistons and rods

Big Spender SOHC Build:
*#12 or #14 Crane cam - $250 to $300
*Crane valve springs - $140
*Unorthodox UDP - $212
*Iceman Intake - $150 (used)
*Pacesetter header = $135
*Mopar PCM = $235
*12:1 compression JE pistons and eagle rods $850
*Mpx 55mm TB = $220
*Dynomax 2.5" piping and muffler - $220
*Prothane Motor mount inserts - $45
*Eibach Anti-sway bars - $290
*Koni's - $760
*Look into porting and polishing the head, while you are installing the pistons and rods

 

DO THE BIG SPENDER BUILD!!!! LOL jk....for around 2k, you shouldnt have a problem with getting 200hp under the hood.

 

just wondering, how much would i get from the budget build? like 150-160hp? and how much does it cost normally to port and polish the head? or is it something that i could do with a dremel?

 

quick question......why dont u want turbo???

 

want my car to look and sound (to some extent) stock. and i want when people look under the hood they dont see much of a difference (cept in the CAI)

 

put a block off shield over the turbo BOOM its gone! =D

 

Well, first your going to want to fix that engine or get another one with lesser miles on it before you look at beefing it up ;-)
