w2ow, just wow, you were my inspiration to fix up the sohc, but thats out the door now : / do you think your y8 could take the gsr swap spraying?
well HONESTLY.. i USED to say no just doing the math.. 180 or whatever with the gsr and 190 or whatever hp with the single cam.. BUT after actually driving my car now.. i think that the higher redline.. and better tranny would dominate the y8 even spraying... i still plan to spray the b18.. that should be pretty quick...
do what you like.. i stand by what i say about single cams.. you can ABSOLUTELY make them fast OR faster dollar per dollar.. till you max out OR break (like i thought i was) so you just have to decide.. i only got the b18 because it worked out.. otherwise i would still have that Y8..
for the record.. i think that the y8 is still ok.. the horrid noise turned out to be a screw jammed up near a pully that was in there in such a way that i had NO way to see it till the motor was out.. so i dont even think that the y8 died..
but im really happy with the swap
