    ignition???

    i was just wondering if anyone makes a better ignition for my n/a escort gt circle track car. im looking for something that will boost a few horses and let me run 110 octane or a mixture. if you know of any thing let me know. where to look, what im looking for , and approx. cost

    not sure what you mean...? you could run a MSD6a on there if you want, bump your base timing up to 18* or so... you wont get any extra power out of 110 unless you get standalone and retune your ignition map. even then, i dont think you'll be able to gain much over running 93, the compression is too low.

        plugs... ngk v-power. wires... i like my taylor thundervolts. magnacore is also good ive been told.

        i doubt you'd get much out of a MSD on a car like this. they only do the multiple spark thing up to 3000 rpm which is way out of the useable RPM band for this motor.

          throttle body

          is there a good throttle body that i could change to ? thinking maybe that could give a few hp. and if i do.will i need to worry about air fuel mixture? or will it mess with computer? im thinking about getting the complete head package from gude. but im not sure how compatible that is

            that head package is REALLY expensive. i can think of cheaper ways to make more power. what sort of limitations do you have in your racing class, any?

              rules

              there are rules...but everyone is breaking them. as long as it appears to be stock ill try it. the good news is...noone in my area really knows much about these cars so everything would appear stock

                rebuild with high comp pistons (like 12:1) and slap a megasquirt on there... have it tuned for race gas. that should go pretty good.

                    its a standalone ECU. replaces the stock computer and its fully tuneable (fuel and spark). its under $500 for a complete setup.

                      estimated gain if tuned for 110 octane? and will 110 octane hurt anything in my motor? most of the other guys at the track that run cavaliers and probes..they say it will hurt the motor so they dont use it. but i heard the bp can handle it all day

                        is it leaded or unleaded? if it is leaded it will kill your o2 sensor but other than that it shouldnt hurt anything. i dont think anyone has a high compression BP running on 110, so i cant honestly say... with stock compression i doubt the gain would be terribly significant though. with the stock ECU you'd probably make les power actually.
