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 |

No, the next generation combo is 82X97mm using my own version of Nickies, and pistons. With the current quality of most all other cylinder and piston kits having dropped, its time to make Nickies standard on every build. I have wanted to do this for a long, long time.
My combos with heads and cams for the next generation favor longer strokes and smaller bores for broad power, and throttle response at all RPM levels. One engine literally has to do it all, the only variable will be CR and lobe separation, which is only altered to optimize the engine for sea level or very high elevations. It comes with a price, 20-22K is the current pricing for the next generation of engines. |
