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.

I guess if you want you could just put her on juice and maybe to the carb conversion. that should be good for some REAL hp, and not all the small stuff. in my opinion every hp counts. plus i think its fun to think of creative ways to make/free up some hp.

I know how to tell if something is BS or not, so no thanks. I'm also a mechanic and I work with a guy who races in the NHRA with a 7 second car. We are always talking about modifications, and the physics of removing the ports makes the car faster at high rpms. No one ever said it makes you slower in racing events, you just lose low end torque. Low end torque is not required for drag racing. Dont be pulling that "your new" **** on me. I built my TII ground up and I am willing to bet you $$ I will whoop your *** in 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.

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?

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.

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

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