Ryan mate if you want more power from it when you're off your P's and have some cash, supercharge it, or get another car and install a 308 in that.

You don't do an awesome conversion like this and then replace it with a 308. There's nothing wrong with 308s but they're not rare and unique like this will be.

Chipping it, Supercharging it and if you have any money you can make it pretty hot I'm sure. Port work, aftermarket pistons, exhausts are also all good options.

Example: Lower the compression with dished pistons, Supercharge it and enlarge the ports to let more of the supercharged intake mixtures in, and let it out through a better exhaust. And use an aftermarket computer to control the process. That'd be a lethal setup :spoton:

Yea fair call Heath. If i do the conversion and are interested in a V8 will be easier to buy a new torrie with one or put a 308 in another one.

thanks ryan
