Im selling my FP manifold to a friend, if he wasnt getting it already Id sell it to you cheap just to see if it made your car run faster or not. Do you think solid motor mounts and stiffer suspension would get you out of the hole quicker?

Going back on something, I dont see how more displacement would hurt anything until you reach rpm limitation. These strokers can safely be revved to 8k, a 14b setup would not be revved beyond that anyways . Therefore it will make more power/torque down low and midrange than 2.0 with quicker...

I think theres still some bolt on power increases to be made as well as more weight lose that could possibly step the trap speed up another 4-5mph and get it into the single digits on a full effort pass. But otherwise, it is a perfect dsm in regards to track performance...

On a car not revving out, it should always make more power with the stroker over the 2.0, or at least make the power easier. A stroker on a small turbo like a 14b would be nuts as far as spool goes, nor will the turbo be able to hold boost at all, but tats not really a bad thing. It will just be...

What Ive been thinking, there still so much left in it in hard parts and weight reduction its not even funny. Lucas , I think you should go for high 9s before retiring your efforts; but I know you were saying your building the car around what it already has on a budget so that might not happen...

Since you dont have the center portion of the wing, why not just take off the rest of it? More weight right? I dont have a wing at all, my car looks just fine...

Damn, how much does your car weigh again? ^ If it were me Id paint all the metal in the interior black so it would look cleaner, but I know your probably worried about the 2 or 3 lbs a couple cans of paint will add huh lol.

Good luck with that, the Kelfords are aggressive cams, I think those BC springs and retainers are in for a ride with anything above 8k and those cams, im keeping mines at 8k on that setup.

I got a weight reduction idea for you guys... Find a old mid 90s mirage for cheap with a blown motor and do a 4g63T awd conversion on it. :) lol i was considering going mirage for a long time, especially for the sleeperness of it, and the fact it puts the car a little under 2600lbs w/ the swap...

Ive been running bc springs and retainers with Kelford 272s up to 8k. I wont rev any higher, especially being the kelfords are pretty aggressive. Sorry to hear about your head, but thats cool that they were willing to work with you...

Snap goes the Tcase :pBut yea, thats interesting you think you can trap 135-140mph with 450awhp, Ive never done the calculations with weight and power. If so thats cool hopefully I can track mines one day, because thats the power I project mines to be around now with this ethanol and hx40, and...

If your talking about the puny dsm drivetrain, then I concur. :sneaky: Putting down that type of power for him would mean, much higher trap speeds, but likely less traction thus resulting in not too different of an ET.But with the additional power, if it was still made to dead hook, with hard...

Screw that , Lasers the fastest , its the lightest :p And in response to Theboz, just so I dont make this a useless post, I dont think a cam upgrade decision should be broadly based on a HP number but more so a decision based on power band and supporting mods... For example you said 280s for...

Getting going from McD's parking lots should be tricky for anyone if you ate there. LoL Yea man I see what you mean now though, I forgot the manual rack had more turns than the regular steering. I havent really noticed or remembered i guess... I dont think thats really an issue unless you Auto-X...

Hmm.. I think you should go with solid mounts instead of prothanes if you are to change out your inserts, and also whats the whole deal with Bucci running a awd trans anyways, and what did he have done to the trans. Was the gearing changed to help his times, like say Evo3 gears? Longer first...
