Not after all the heartache 
We're up to 82.5mm bore MC block, 7:1 compression, ported NG head with the GOOD valves that won't fall apart with exhaust temp, cut-down NG intake manifold, and I'm about this close to throwing a 55mm Precision turbo on the thing because I will have some headroom with the 52lb injectors and detonation should be no issue with the lack of compression. Not a competition car of any type in the least, although I may take it to the dragstrip every now and then to make people wonder what the hell is with the funny-sounding "Volvo". If I had a goal, it would be a nice 80s style laggy turbo car that could put down 370hp at the wheels, because that's higher than any other ten-valve engine I've heard of in the US.

Ha! As the recent owner of a 302 powered Volvo, I can say that the handling is barely changed from stock. Can you tell there's a bit more weight up front? Yes. Does it really effect the cars handling? Not really. |
