Default C3 HP Kings

I need a little help from the C3 horse power kings. I went to the dark side and bought a C4 (must say I like the ride) but I need some more get up and go. Take a gander at this thread and let me know if I'm missing something. Is the L98 destined to produce 240 HP with Mods?

Default My 2 cents....

For all the time, research, work and expense involved in trying to hop up the L-98....I would just go get me a ZZ4 and drop it in and be done with it. My 85 has that and a flowmaster dual exhaust system and it sounds, runs, and feels great. Stock intake? Maybe I'll upgrade it someday, but I have other fish to fry, like getting my 76 back on the road. This car is plenty fast for what it is.

Probably many will disagree with me, but by time you end up swappng all the other stuff.... will you end up with 355HP and 405 TQ ? I know the cost might be a litle more than you were planning, but.....hey, then its also all NEW!
