Re: DMC engine upgrades

["John Hervey" <dherv10@xxxx>]

Group / James. In the engine upgrades I have been watching and 
listening the discussions back and fourth and I recently started 
emailing/talking to a man in the U.K. where the emissions is less 
stringent. Where I live they don't check emissions. With a few 
modifications he told me about and done by professionals, headers, 
bored out injectors, re adjust the air flow mixture, no cat., no 
lambda/sensor, and free flowing exhaust they are getting out he said 
about 167 hp +/-. My question/statement is??? ( if ) the 
catalitc/emissions system can't be messed with in the U.S. 
then DMC Houston engine is wonderful at 200+/- HP. that's about 
$71.00 per hp. and the cost is nominal for the upgrade and I assume 
warranted engine. Adding another 30 H.P. costing $167.00 per hp. is 
even better but you are reaching deminishing return and still be 
street legal. My old days with the Cherry Bomb muffler's on vet's and 
headers are gone. U.K. also pointed out, that a blue printed engine, 
modified cam, unsupercharged engine in a replicated car was doing 
260HP. street legal in the U.K. how would you like to drive that. Can 
the DMC Houston upgrade be put in my turbo De Lorean, which has 
already had the pistons modified and no telling what else.
