To the original poster: Keep it 8v. If you really have to ask it means you don't have the understanding to really make it happen.
Quattro is from another planet. Different rules. The laws of physics are also completely different there. People run 12's with 36lb injectors all day long.
Boost: don't take it the wrong way dude. I have seen lots of experienced posts from you and I'm sure you know how to wrench. I was suprised you were asking about such a topic.
In a 740 it's easier since6 more parts bolt right up like throttle cable brake booster and manifolds.
Sry on iPod now so posting sucks.
It's cool dude. It's just that this is the first 16V head I've ever gotten my hands on, so I hadn't really considered the swap seriously up until this point. I know for a fact I could successfully pull it off. A few hours of thinking and reading have convinced me that there is no point with my current goals. I'm looking for a dead reliable 250-300ft/lbs, and I can do that on my 531 head fairly easily.
13.99 and faster RWD need a loop, or if you run slicks as per NHRA last time I checked. If you go there in your Volvo and tech in, they aren't going to look for a driveshaft loop, because they aren't going to think you will be in the 13s, so it's a moot point.
That's awesome, great numbers by the way!Head was pulled from a junk yard, hot tanked and bolted to the bolted to the block. Sock cams that came with it. Head and cams was $35 on half price day. Boner ass stock.
Not that im gettin in the argument and i agree 16v head makes more power
But i made 310whp at 12psi on a blown 8v lol

I agree, only with slicks. Regardless - he claims he'll run a 12.0 - so he should go run one once and get booted.
If he goes and runs one and gets booted and needs a loop I'll make him one and ship it free of charge.
I just checked and you guys are right. I'm not sure if they changed it since the last time I went, but the last time I took my Camaro to the strip with street tires the tech said next time come back with a driveshaft loop or don't come back.I agree, only with slicks.

i'd like to see an 8v do 260whp @ 7psi
