hell even some 390's would work alright up to about 7psi or so but its alwasy better to have more then not enough. and you can get by on a street tune if its a dd, not really a need for the dyno unless you just want to see what your putting down

---- just got off the phone with a local tuner and he charges $80 to chip and $420 to tune it...
I'm not willing to spend that kind of money just to boost a stock Z6 engine... And I don't have the means to do a street tune... any help here?

well always think o fit this way you start out with more power you end up with more power.. i love D's dont get me wrong but the D had to go for me as im not boosting my crx anymore, so im building an LS and i will probably put more power down all motor than you will on a junkyard D at 10psi.. if you want something factory strong and could do 300 hp with no worries get an ls swap they are cheap as hell everywhere and are still very plentiful..

my .02 cents

While we're talking about LS swaps. I've never priced one. How much should I expect to pay for a LS motor and tranny complete with wiring harness and axels? Basically a complete swap...

i paid 700 for a complete swap minus axles and shift linkage.. ls longblocks are no more than 3-400 depending on mileage..

Speaking of prices I can get twin cam stuff much cheaper than sohc stuff its very odd and gay. I use to be able to get sohc stuff from the importers for pennies not no more.

stock ls can do 350 pretty easily on a good tune. The D is cheaper and easier which is fine if you want 300 if you are looking to go much beyond that start looking at the b-series. No way would I run stock injectors and fuel pump.
