45 HP increase, no ethanol fuel. Those extra horses will be very expensive after a shop like Cosworth builds it, and by build it I mean a completely different engine utilizing the same block. You have to give up buying a house to pay for it. But why?

My direction started with a 4.556 FD for around 11% faster gearing (all gears). Drop in air filter, aluminum drive shaft (debatable benefit, but tightened the feel of the drive train for me and weighs half of stock).
Going forward looking at Crawford power blocks, Ace EL headers and a custom tune. Further down the line some forged 17x7.5" wheels with 225 rubber and, if I can put up with 30% range reduction and the hassle of finding E85, go for a flex fuel custom tuned kit.

Quick FYI there engines don't make any more power after roughly 7800 rpm they die out. You can not do cams that are even remotely worth while without changing the stroke and pistons to prevent them from kissing the valves. |

It's a minor note, but with one of the Flex Fuel kits and Tunes you don't have to deal changing tunes. It will all be handled automatically based on the ethanol content measured by the Flex Fuel kit. |

Oft plus a good uel header will make a noticeable difference. I suggest a shorter final drive to make it feel fast.
That's my next mod since I too am not planning to go FI Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk Last edited by brzd; 11-09-2016 at 03:32 PM. Reason: typo |

However, since last night I have lost the will to live..... Sure! Reduce weight of the engine & drivetrain rotating mass. You will immediately feel a "HUUUUGE" increase in HP. It will make this car great again.

The new 2017 does have a higher ratio final drive. If I'm not mistaken it is a 4.30 vs 4.10 in the old car. MT of course.
