any idea on power output?

[scottk054]

D16z6 on carbs with stage 1 cam, ported and polished head, 4-2-1 manifold and straight through.

Any idea what power that would make?

Depends solely on how well your carbs work with that set-up, you changed the jets at all? My stock z6 only made 113bhp at the flywheel, completely down to the lack of fuel when in vtec and the lack of me being arsed to source new jets or carbs.

I can imagine with that set-up your engine will be far outperforming the carbs, and maybe even doing a little damage. Bike carbs, webers or dellorto's should see about 140-150 I'd have thought.

Not changed jets no.. not really thought about different carbs.. would it run S*!t with that set up? Ive still to fit the cam whilst doing a head gasket.

119.6bhp

?

[Tahir]

About 195whp i wouldve thought.

[joe f]

It won't so much run S*!t, mine felt absolutely fine, just didn't make power.
Mine had full exhaust and carb trumpets.
