Didn't turn out so well, lol.

A coworker wanted me to know how crappy my car was after work, so we went from a dig. He gave me the jump and I had him until he hit third gear, then he pulled away pretty quickly lol After that he threw his flashers on and it was over...

R.I.P. my ego, lol.

If I find the video, you'll be the first to see it.

Interesting fact, the 97 E320 has a RWD 3.2l six cylinder with 217 hp, so I did alright

Throw a cammed 3500 in there and race him again

don't TL him and ask him what happen.

Ha, if I didn't have a turbo cam, turbo heads, and turbo manifolds coming in the mail, I totally would. Too bad he knows about my build, and he just got a four cylinder jeep, lol.

I should go with a cammed 3500, maybe even throw in a turbo, but I feel this 3.1 turbo build is a nice start.

I sure am. I don't know if I'll be hurting unless I make more than 250 hp, though.

What cam and heads? TGP cam and heads are the same as N/A

I probably should have worded that differently. The heads are just 3.1 heads, I'm not sure if they're TGP or not, that are ported. I don't remember the cam specs, I'll post them later.
