a 7afe's true power.. ? Options

[macavely]

Ok just wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind. well they other night i'm on my way to my girls house and i pull up to an interga at the light. its a 94 + gs was on the back.. i look over and there is this guy with his girl in there.. she keeps she looks over and smiles. then the guy looks over at me with this hard look. and revs his engine. damn thing sounds like a lawn mower. so the light turns green and were off i'm like half a car infront of him i her hes coffe can get louder.. as i pull away.. mind you i never floor it and my rpms never went past 4thousand..we get to the next light and he pulls away and i get behind him to make the left turn to get on my girls street. well since that day i have been thinking has anyone on here really tested out how much power you can get out of a 7afe.. the corolla guys seam to love there 7afe engine.. and i have had some corolla dust me on the turnpike.. everyone talks swap well how about getting a new 7afe engine and popping a turbo on it and inter cooler and seeing how much power you can get out of it.. .. cause i don't belive that you can't get a 7afe up to 300hp like my pops told me once and engine is an engine how much work do you want to do to it..

I am going to rebuild my 7a-fe with forged rods and pistons, and have the head ported and polished, then im going to try to get a decent performance cam and sprockets, lightweight pulleys, CAI, header and exhaust, and finnaly a turbo.

when i am finnished i will take over and get it dynoed and let you guys know what i find out, of coarse mac knows that im on a quest for the connecting rods and tranny but once thats sorted its rebuild time.
