Nice. That's a significantly modded engine. How much for those mods?

The dsm scene has a much larger market so similar mods are cheaper there, but its not as simple as just bolting everything up, there's a lot of tips and tricks that goes into making that kind of power.

I believe the high boost issue could be helped with narrowing the size differential between exhaust & intake valves. That way cam lift & duration don't have to be as wild & problematic to the remaining valve-train. The additional boost can easily force a bigger charge in past the intakes ,but the exhaust doesn't have that benefit on its end , only more restriction from the turbine wheel laboring harder against the air that does make it past the valves. Granted the size differential is closer on the LNF but it could be more if high boost flow is needed/wanted. A 5 or 6 valve configuration would be nice but.........
