The week after Miatapalooza my car goes up to BSI for the engine build. The build is to SCCA STL rules,BSI will get the car back in late September to build the cage.
Wiseco 84mm 11:1 pistons ( .040 over )
Higher Lift Cams
Megasquirt PNP ( or equal )
Should dyno out when finished at 165hp to the wheels.
The car already has Xida CS and FM front bar,all that will be left beside safety equipment will be deciding what rear end ratio to run.
Damn. That sounds like a scary build. Have fun with it.
The car goes to BSI tomorrow,Stu should take 3 weeks to get her back to me. 165 n/a whp...I can't wait !
Yes!!!
update!
In the next week or so. We are in the break in mode to make sure the forged pistons and rings seat in properly. Running 11:1 comp so I am babying her for 500 miles with just a few quick trips to rev limit. We are also running the OEM ECU until next week when the Megaquirt goes in and the "gloves come off "
Stay tuned
Update,she goes back to BSI for the Megasquirt and full tune on Monday. I did have her out the other day and she does fly. She got really light in the front end,the lousy aero on our cars,my suspension felt like if was at full droop,looked at the tach just light of 7000 rpms and my GPS showed 130 mph. Not for the faint of heart with no aero aids to help.
ain't no pics of the build??Originally Posted by Thumper13
Nah,the only pic that will be posted is the Dyno based on 93 pump gas. The E 85 dyno will not be posted. I may drive her down South one more time before she becomes a dedicated track rat. I'll let you know. Comes September you can see her at Sebring or Daytona,that's assuming my current job doesn't fall apart
I may post a pic with my Race Team windshield header
driving a fast car is like adrenaline pumping through your veins, you feel hyper and you scream like a madboy while strangers look at you in the caravan at the stop light. The you look back, you smile, you fix your hat and take off to never ever be seen again. The car is loud, engine screaming begging for more revs except when you get to the next stop light the strangers in the caravan approach you once again. This time the kids in the van are hyper too, Mom is freaking out trying to control them and dad,, dad is really pissed off, he looks at you with envy and sorrow, he wishes and dreams a day and time to build and own and have the freedom to drive a car just like your ride!

Too many problems with that. Note one of my sponsors, he's saved me a ton of money and points. Now the little car is destined to become a track toy/race car. The wife would rather see me on the racetrack than in jail,or worse so she gave me a big bag of $$$$ and the go ahead to "get that menace to society off the street and on the track". Now you know where Asylum Racing and Motorsports comes from ( she still thinks I should be committed )
She's not the only one.
ja ja ja ja ja!! All marriages are a contract agreement. I, the husband in exchange for "A" shall get the following. I, the wife in exchange for "B" shall get the following. ....You bargain with the wife for a happy marriage trouble free until god knows when. . With that said, if I get married again I want the garage completely to me, sex and food, that's it. Wife keeps the rest of the house, the kids and the Caravan.
Congratulations on your build my friend. Please update the thread and post pics of the menace when you can.
Yup, move over one more looney tune coming to join you !
Project update... where is Thumper?? I bet he is driving all over Florida, the car is full of stickers with a rollbar and very happy young man at heart!!! where is Thumper?????
