I would just go all out old school, to hell with the ecu. Gp P-port with webers

 

DP

 

I'd love to get an ECU . . but the $ spent on that could get me used coilovers, and an SAFC with stock ECU is fine for a lowly 170rwhp power goal like mine.

 

Enough to just get a TII.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love finding cheap/free ways to improve an engine's efficiency and hence make a bit more power. But many of those things you listed are not cheap and will have little effect on power. Some may be worthwhile mods, but they're certainly not going to get a ported engine with an exhaust to 230hp. And unless you're only interested in drag racing, a carb should not be thought of as a source of "real" hp...

 

Hey slow down cowboy, you said he probably had the faster car around here wich is NOT TRUE at all. HE FAILED to prove it long time ago, and since you are not new around here, I guess you remeber it

Now you can whoop my car, cool. As soon as I finish tunning the E6K, I call you for a run

 

To add one more thing about the cheap and/or free mods. Some people consider going to a carb to be cheap and easy way to add HP but in the long run how much more do you spend in the extra gas you use? Its just not worth it to me especially if your car is a daily driver. Save your money and get a real stand-alone EMS and pay to tune it once and be done with it.

 

i forgot to put that in the list.

 

???? Low end torque is not required for drag racing???

How long is the race, like 8 clicks? in a quarter mile you need low end torque to get you into your power band. If you start to hit the cars peak too late, your loosing speed.

Sounds like we have a race upcoming, I will fly out to see this . . . If you win can I have next?

 

Shhh, he is going by me profile, wich hasn't been updated in a loooong time

 

that was intended for Net 7, however, never beyond a good race

straight, circle, doesn't matter

 

oh, and don't look at my sig either

 

Hehe guys whats your setup? I've got a turbo swap on an 87 sport no sunroof or power options, with weight reduction done. Lots and lots of mods to the engine including my own porting which you will find if you search under my name, i put up pictures of it. hehe really what mods do you guys have? I mean why are you so sure you can beat me? You guys dont really know what ive got under the hood either.

 

oh hehe and my profile... lets just say it wasnt updated since before I even decided to do a turbo swap. Car was down for 1 year.. now its up and running just got it broken in with 2k miles... ahhh driving is fun again.

 

part of the fun here. I am glad you take it as good clean fun

 

What I still dont get is when I ran my street ported 4 port engine without the turbo, I was still making more power than with my 6 port engine. Like I was chirping 3rd gear no problem, and 2nd gear peeling out pretty hard. Thats without the turbo... Everyone was telling the 4 port run in NA form would be real slow and would run shitty... hehe I think not

 

part of the fun here. I am glad you take it as good clean fun

 

Actually what I am saying is power in the higher RPM range is far more important than your low RPMs. How much time do you spend close to redline compared to below 4k rpms?

 

have to get to 4K and in a quarter it must happen QUICK

 

Well you shouldn't be below 4k at any point in time because you should be launching at atleast 4k off the line.

 

That's why you do what I do for launching in the quarter, drop the clutch at 6k You'll never see 4k, haha.

 

I guess thats why I stay from the drag strip - more of a high speed oval guy.

 

You shouldnt see low rpms in the high speed oval track either....

 

Even Ito kept the Aux ports on the last bridge motor he built. And the Judge is definatly someone that knows his rotary ****.
