Dr. Pomade Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Huh? Sean, you typed "reading compression," though I think you meant to type "reading comprehension." That's what Kevin R was alluding to, if I'm not mistaken. Also, you sure you wouldn't pick up more than what you estimated with those mods? Seriously, your car is such a freak I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 The cam maybe, the port work probably not. I'll make up for it by reducing some weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 not sure how to take your post, but i pretty much know exactly how the twinscrew works, and why it is more efficient (TOTALLY different rotor design). i did some extensive research, waited, researched, and then bought the blower and did all of the work myself (except the tuning) i wouldn't buy used injectors for an '03/04 cobra, nor a used BAP, or MAFia, but that's me. don't skimp on anything would be my advice. def not telling you how a twinscrew works, i am pretty sure you of any of us would know how that works compared to a Heaton. I have had good luck with my parts buying. I bought my pumps brand new from LFP and my Pro-M maf and MAFia were out of the box but never used along with my injectors so i got a real good deal.

y2k2gt Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 You should save the money for good internals. This last round of mods for my car will make it good for 800-900rwhp and legal to 8.50's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the new Steig ports are good for 550rwhp due to the new torque plate he is using i beleive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Did you end up getting a cage? Nope, another $1000 that interferes with daily driving. If I keep thinking the way I am I'm going to end up selling my car for a Kia I'll find my race mentality somewhere... but right now it's completely lost.

RS69 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nope, I would find another car to start again. I am not saying sell the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say you could do that since you plan/hope to run in the 10s correct? The race mentality will come back once we get some good weather.
