With full bolt-ons how much power you guys reckon it would throw down? Is it worth it? Way I look at it is I have to buy a motor one way or another and its not much more than a used to buy IPP's built longblock. IPP says depending on the mods the stage 1 should gain 20-40hp over stock. Not sure about the stage 2 which has the JWT cams. Any input you guys have would be nice.

Depending if you stay with stock compression or bump the compression will make a huge difference. Also depends on supporting mods to work with the upgraded cam. Only one person has done a stage 2 cam and made decent power, but he had a dry sump to support the extra revs safely and some custom 1 off parts. If you were to run straight e 85 and bump the C.R. To 12.5 or 13.1 you would make some awesome numbers and probably break the 400whp barrier. But that's my 2 worthless cents.
