The New Wildcat 223GT1-E is a modified version of the Wildcat 223 Electric Start Engine.
The Wildcat 223 is one of the best stock engines on the market, with one of the strongest blocks in the industry and the largest displacement of any factory engine. The New Wildcat 223GT1 is a stage one Wildcat 223 engine with upgrades to make them race-ready.
The Wildcat can easily increase its compression due to its larger displacement and reduce compressed or squish volume thanks to EC's 3.353-Inch Pinnacle forged connecting rod that puts the flat top piston at zero deck. To maintain the charging system and electric start, the cast flywheel remains, and the 4000rpms rev limiter is upgraded to 5000rpms for more power while retaining reliability. The stock carburetor is re-tuned and jetted on the dyno for optimal performance.
