Re: 1600 (4G32) engine.. worth doing?

yeah I dunno if the factory weight is wet or what but it would be the complete weight so you get a good idea of the weight over the axle, its going to vary depending on number of cams NA or turbo etc.

[quote="Rally_2.6LC"]It would be a great group buy (might get the cost down a little, as pump alone is $251, then gasket and shaft). And there is at least a 15-20hp gain (according to Ron Masing from Coltspeed, as well as some of my friends who have done this to their rally cars). /quote] ...
