Disadvantage is its very expensive on an ongoing basis for anything other than drag racing.
So depends what use it will get if thats a good route or not.
Personally I would nitrous it wether your turbo it or stroker it or whatever, I just dont se the point in having a big strong engine like that to go drag racing with and then not use nitrous on it.
im really not sure mate just toying with options at the moment.
id say i have been revving it to around 7000 rpm and not realising, as since ive fitted the omex limiter set at 5000 rpm its a hell of alot lower than i was revving it
lol
it has hyd tappets so online they say 5500 rpm max, but my oil pressure is far from standard, when it was built all journals were altered and pump work, upto full temp its 30 psi idle, as soon as i touch throttle it has 100 psi all the time which i guess is holding the tappets up virtually like solids anyways. either way it seemed happy revving high i just dont wana kill it.
the other issue is the mains are just 2 bolt, i dont yet know the limit of the bottom end ?
