With a pushrod A series, 80 ATW just costs $$$$, but if you did get 100 real HP ATW it wouldn't be street drivable, IMO.
Easiest way- get a turbo or huffer on it...

100hp atw is quite hard to achieve for a non forced induction engine. Dr Mini on here has one of the most powerful non race motors with around the 87whp mark - getting above that is where you need either enormous capacity (huge bores and very long stroke) or an out-and-out race motor. That's assuming you're using an A series head, you *may* achieve 100whp with the use of a motorbike head, but please refer to other threads as the benefits of these heads are the subject of debate I believe Greig Malure has the quickest A series in the country with 165fwhp (?) - it's worth a LOT of money |

My engine produces 136hp at the flywheel, which is roughly 95hp at the wheels (depending on what day  )
It is a stroker, produces bags of great fun torque, and is streetable... if you are keen! |

Yeah you have the same 282 cam as in mine (a tame race cam GR says, it's now NLA)- to get much more at the treads you are looking at an out and out race motor with nothing under 4500, and a cam life measured in hours, not thousands of Km. So then hardly streetable- for long.

Pete hahaha thanks pete.... good to see you is still hanging around... gotta agree with all of the others on here... making 100+hp atw is a fair call... but it means ALOT of machining, balancing, boring etc etc.... mildly work your 1275 and throw a hairdryer on there easy 100hp. |
