I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on the 2270 engine kit from the Type 4 store. I'm curious if anyone knows what the difference between the kit and the Raby 2270 SR. I see they each have different HP specs. Do we think this is an actual difference or just a difference in written spec? Same cam? Same Heads? Curious if this kit can make better HP than 140? Headers? Other tested and ordained cam?
I'd appreciate any input based on experience, Best, Alex |

People want to be "builders", but they want someone to tell them exactly how to do it.. Builders are just that, their thoughts and theories are applied to make what they build have its own character.
I've always made anyone who assumes the role of engine builder feel and see exactly what I do. Builders are either heroes, or zeros and anyone not willing to accept the latter, and believes that only the former will exist, should just buy an engine. Thats one of the main reasons I sold the store to LN, people thought that just because they bought ports from us that we were mandated to assist them. My blood pressure is way down after getting rid of the store, and I haven't thrown any parts through the wall since then, either. I've moved the sale of all components that we develop through distributors, and major wholesalers. Its even better when no one knew who developed the product, and thats where I am moving now. One reason I never cared about the 911 stuff is that its always been a little too generic, as of late I see more and more people that are bored with that, so my current build is a first year 930 Turbo, next build after that will likely be a 959 engine. |
