15.9 @ 82mph

[91ProtegeLX]

isnt 12:1 a bit much? you didnt mention cams or balancing the crank/pistons (balancing isnt even expensive) but you should look into that probably otherwise it will be a waste having that much compression.

12:1 a bit much?? Naw, thats where the fun begins. As far as cams, when I said headwork, I meant cams as well. Like I said tho, Bp's have been proven to make like 400hp on the stock bottom end, so Ill prolly leave my rods and crank stock. But I dont plan on making anything near that, so I'll prolly be fine.

[Tweeaks]

just remember the weakest link on the bottom end is the rod bolts.....i'd play it safe and get some arps..

I know I've listed this before, but here I go....

Cams(260 or 270 duration, 9.5mm lift range)
Ported and polished head, 3 angle valve job, radiused seats, cc'd chambers
Eibach valve springs, aluminum retainers, possible bucket/shim conversion
10:1 pistons, balanced and slightly lightened.
Rods lightened, polished, balanced and shot-peened
Block magnafluxed, bored .020" over, decked(need to take measurements before knowing how much)
Crank lightened, knife-edged, and balanced to 10,000RPM
Greddy E-Manage w/ 300cc injectors
Mildy ported and polished intake manifold(possibly custom piece if stock one is too restrictive)
Intake gasket/port matching
Bored throttle body
Custom intake
Custom header
Custom exhaust

Hmmm, did I miss anything? Budget is $11,000Cdn

standalone ECU
cold air intake (ghetto hood scoop style)

but really, that sounds good. you might want to bump the compression up a little more because thats what makes it rev quicker. you can do 10.5 or MAYBE 11 on premium. my car is 10.5:1 (not the protege obviously) and it pings on cheap gas but with 92 it runs fine. more compression than that is bad because you either need a lot of octane additives or you will need to buy race gas at the track or order it in barrels

I'm going to be running 12:1 compression, with a shaved head(44cc chambers), .020" head gaskets and .020" deck hight, along with the 10:1 pistons. I'll see how it runs, then decide what kind of fuel I'll need, and what kind of timing to run.

Also, I don't want to sacrifice ANY drivability, so that's why I doing the stock ECU/E-Manage thing. I can control initial ignition advance with the distributor, and the E-Manage can control all my fuel needs.

[1990DX]

not running on pump gas is something i would consider as sacraficing driveability but good luck with that.

I'm sure drivability will be fine, and with longer duration cams, 12:1 on 94 octane is reasonable. If not, I'll buy some toluene in bulk!

woah thats cool you guys have 94. all we have here is 92.

i ran a 10.4 @ 77mph in the 1/8. by my math that gives me a 15.6 in the 1/4

[neuspeedescort]

my 15.5 was a 10.002 @ 70mph in the 1/8th

Ya, your math seems to be wrong. Because with my 15.7 run, I ran 10.049 in the 1/8.

I'd say 16.2 with a 10.4.

and oh ya, it's impossible for you to do a 10.4 @ 77mph in the 1/8. It must be 67. 77mph and you'd be in the 9.4s 1/8, or low 14s 1/4.

There are no Sunoco stations around you??

ive got the timeslip around here somewhere, want me to scan it?

[Gen1GT]

Yes please.....

Also, see what cars run which put down 77mph through the 1/8

i remember thinking i did something different that run, but i dont remember what
