Yep,
A bunch of work for 15 more HP than the W5 mill..., but I guess if the water stays where it belongs, it will be worth it!

"W8'ing is the hardest part" I got a laugh out of your play on words, clever.

Good luck with your motor!

I would hope it makes more than a max effort 650hp w5 does.

I thought about it, if I were starting from scratch I might try it. but for the few extra HP over my indy 1s just not worth it.

Max effort W5 mill can make WAY more than 650. I say that because the one in my ex car made well over 700 on the Dyno and backed it up at the track by going 140 at 3200 pounds and change on S/S springs and a 28 by 10 Dot tire.
That all said, heck yes...W8 has much, much more potential

Yes Matt.... Gregg did his one day magic once again. 2, 2 1/8, 3 1/2 and will start with some bullet mufflers, but plan in the long run to put more exhaust on it. Honestly... we're leaving quite a bit on the table, but should put down some decent power and live a long happy life... of course we tried that route with the W5 crap and ended up pulling it apart all the time anyways Brett shot me a good deal on the top end, so we started building around it. Do I know what I'm doing? Nope!
