   i was wondering if anybody could help me...
   
   im about to buy a cammed vts lump for my vtr...
   and id like to "rebuild it" and mod it before it gos in... but the question is what else do i need to make it run? (iv been told ill need a loom) and what can i look at doing to rebuild it or mod it??
   
   my aim it to be running 140-150bhp at the wheels...
   is this realistic?
   
   thankyou tom

   To get those whp figures your gonna need bodies and maybe a set of hi-comps. As forthe re build I'd do a minimum of service, cambelt, water pump, stem seals etc but if it's a hi milage engine and your willing to do the work then go the whole way with big end shells, main barings, springs, lifters the whole lot.

   Atw without spending a decent bit of money then yes. You won't get it from just breathing mods and a set of mild cams

   At the fly would be bout 150 but on an N/a engine unless it's a hi comp, bodied, cammed engine it won't be at the wheels. Any reason you want that power? For the money it would take a boosted engine would probs be cheaper and much more fun.

   A little bit of a noob question but what bhp do you loose between fly wheel and wheels?
   Is it a % or roughly 10bhp or somthing??
   
   Im looking to to do the work myself and learn as much as possible...
   So im going to be doing cam belt n normal stuff but what else can i look into doing to squeez bhp out??
   Cheers tom

   Some say 10% others say 20% so call it 15%. Even 150 at the fly is noticeable remember that's an increase of 25% over standard.
