rb20's kick ass dont let anyone tell you different.

Short stroke bad mother fuckers.

You can beat them off the revlimiter in third gear for like 5 minutes and they are still fine!!

I didnt even run a fan on one of my rbs. I drove it like that for 6 months!!!

Hope that's not the best reason to run it in a race application.

How would having a motor that would sit further past your front crosmember/ suspension help with the center of gravity? And what motor do you have to bash the fire wall in to get it to fit, unless you want to sit it back as far as possible, and if thats the case I6 is the wrong way to go.

Do what im doing, GT28RS turbo KA (275hp max) with a 4.36 f/d and a good clutch.
