Re: [DML] The PRV-6 to Northstar Transfer

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree. Just because I don't feel the need to induce whiplash from 
every stoplight doesn't mean I'm a purist. I choose to substitute 
parts as necessary to make the car safer. It's not like we're all 
driving around with blue fan fail modules.

I do feel a certain urge to keep the car close to original for 
historical purposes. How many are left? I don't want the only 
original ones to be behind the ropes. It's fun to see the screwed up 
look on people's faces when they see the engine. It's also fun to see 
how much power you can get out of what you have. I always did love 
a "sleeper".

My co-worker bought an '03 Mustang (not a GT). Only 190 hp he told 
me. Houston's stage III will top that and not detract from the 
historical value. Plus our car is lighter I believe. Think it would 
beat him? I do.

It's always easier to pay an "expert" to just drop in an easy answer 
instead of doing the math and improving what you have. I prefer to 
twist that PRV like a lemon and make lemonade. Martin Gutkowski can 
attest that there are PRV's in Europe powerful enough to make a 
DeLorean destroy itself. If fact, he's just picked up a turbo-varient 
that I'm following with interest.

I really like the idea of the stage III engine. I just wish they'd 
sell a kit so I could do it myself.
