my old EXP would turn 5500 all day long stock, wonder what it would be capable of if I tried to hop it up? Forged steel crank came with the rebuild, about 10.5-11:1 compression ratio...
all this was the available parts when rebuilt. the head and block were warped, had to be milled, stock compression was 9.5:1, bored .040 over, I was aiming for a stock rebuild, otherwise all stock parts.
local chuckleheads have seriously high rpm 4 bangers that I wouldn't want to fool with, probably near 800hp, but they're not exactly streetlegal anyway...
