I am tossing up a 257 short motor, lightly ported heads and cams to liven it up for when I finally kill my engine... I don't see the point in an all out build for my low power goals of 220kw (response > power), plus I am after the low oil usage, cold start quality and basic OEM reliability as my car would still be a daily.
What is the long term goal for the car; weekender, daily, track hack... all the above?

Goal is the limit of the turbo. And drop some more skids.

Agree with all that mate, what about rods? Surely the stockers would have copped a pounding with all the launches?
