    SHO on Champ

    Hi every one, time to re power my stage 3+ 250 HPDI need a block witch I can't lay my hands on.
    How does a 250 SHO preform on a 198CX year 2010 one of the last ones build. We don't have motor restriction laws over here so as long as transom can handle it we can hang any Hp on the back. Will defiantly flush the SHO and keep the rest Stock (try to)
    Got a 10'set back Hydro Lift Bop plate.
    What figures can I expect? Anyone out there
    Thanks
    Blackie

    It would be great and even better if you flashed it to a 300hp.

    I suspect it would run great. Would be a beast with the SHO 250 Flashed.

    You can buy a 200hp sho and flash it and save yourself some penny's over buying a 225 or 250. All are 4.2L blocks.

    So you can take a 200hp and flash it to 300hp?

    If I ever have to repower, SHO will be at the top of my list.

    Works great! Have them turn up the rev limiter while you’re at it.

    Noticed that Bore, Stroke, Comp Ratio, Weight, rpm Range exactly the same. The diff pay for the flash.
