hi, so some of you may have seen my thread in new members, right the things I would like to know are,
what are these closed deck engines good for??? I am aiming for 300-350bhp.
what do I need to do to get it there???
is the superchips FCD good enough or do I need to get it pulled out and a chipped ECU fitted????
also what is actually meant by Closed Deck Engine????

Closed deck engines are good for 350 BHP easy. The only weak point in them is the crank but 350 shouldn't be a problem.
Here is a pic of the difference between open and closed deck
As far as the mapping part for your car I'm not sure but maybe you would need a standalone ecu like a simtek they are not cheap.
