So unlike Earl, I can't tell you a cam profile over the internet by touching a photo on the screen with my pinky toe.
Anyone more gifted than me with engines have any theories as to what makes it so much more powerful? Right off I see a modified intake, throttles, MUCH taller valve covers. That distributor looks strange to me for some reason too, is it an EFI coil pack?
Josh, when you get it will you install and run it or just use it as a showpiece?
Edit: just noticed the electronic injectors on the other photo from the site

3.0 liters, 24 valves, *probably* higher compression and almost certainly way more aggressive camshafts, and a properly tuned EFI system. Possibly more, but I'd be guessing.Originally Posted by jawn101

Incidentally that distributor style is not that uncommon. I've seen them on plenty of cars with cam-driven distributors, including my I4 daily driver Volvo.

The 400hp venturi prv is twin turbo, so that package will not give you all 400hp...you need to put the 2 turbo on
