I'm not believing a 10:1 2.7 can make 287 at the wheels...what's that about 320-330 at the crank? It's not happening in anyone's alternate universe.
I'm shooting for those kind of numbers with a 3.6 that been sufficiently massaged. My 3.6 will have a higher compression ratio, good cams, ITB's, MOTEC, the
best headers out there and a GT3RS muffler. I'm hoping for something around 335.

That said, 2.7's can be great engines if all the I's are dotted and T's crossed. My 8.5:1 MFI 2.7 made 230 at the crank and I was stoked.
