Can someone help me, or tell me how to get 250 hp in my 2002.

Weber side draft 40's

-304 cam?

Or

-292 cam?

Polished an ported, billet rockers? Bigger valves?

Bore/ stroker.

Headers?

Or is there a way I can bolt a different head for more power??

Thank you

Scott.

The m10 will NOT make 250 HP N/A. If you want that kind of power your either looking at a turbo set up or motor swap. Do a lot of searching on this site, both topics have been covered in detail.

No cutting or welding? You better have another look at that firewall. And I don't know how the steering works or where the brake booster is.

No amount of skill or education will ever replace dumb luck

I believe he was joking.

i forgot the name of the company but theres a m62 installation kit out there no cutting or welding required just drill some small holes and bolt in some brackets. instant 350+ hp & 400 ft. lb. torque

HAHAHAHA looks like i should have taken the easy M62 swap route instead of the M42.

Whoops.

I plan to get around 250 when i inevitably turbo my M42 swap.

You can fit a 350 in it. You can fit one of those in ANYTHING.... :P

But with how light these cars are megasquirt and turbo the M10 and you will have a hell of a blast!
