As title really.
Have a 1UZ being built at the moment, and the current plan is to stick to the stock bottomend (but rebuilt), but with Kelford 207-E (286duration) cams and uprated springs, 8 throttles, aftermarket ecu, decent headers, etc etc. Have most these parts already and engine is stripped down (and will have Cometic gaskets and ACL bearings when it's re-installed).
What power/torque can I expect from that? I'm happy to rev to around 8000rpm going by what I've seen. ~400bhp would be nice, but really unsure as heard to many numbers.
Can I skim the heads a little to increase the compression? If so, any idea how much before we end up with issues (either valve/piston ones or other probs)? Looking at the heads, it doesn't look like a lot can be done to the ports, but some would be ok if worth while. No bigger valves etc at this point though.
The 207-Es were advised by Kelford in case anyone wondered why.
Also, are there anything else well worth using? Aftermarket crank damper, etc etc?
Reasoning for stock rods/pistons were to keep things on a sensible budget and mean IF things do go wrong, we can do a quick bottomend swap to keep the car in action.
Any advice/experience welcomed![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
