aight man thanx alot

 

well, considering I ran 14.97 @ 93.82 in my stock GSR, I'd say mid 14s... maybe low 14s if you're REALLY good.

 

I just don't understand the point of spending $3000-4000 to run 14's???? Maybe it's just me :dunno:

 

its better then slappin a turbo on. because turbo is more meintenence and forced induction on a stock engine will make your engine turn to shXt faster then you think. Building up the head is the first step im taking,eventually i will build the block. I dont think i will ever do forced induction simply because of the damage it can do.

 

For speed? you're kidding right? obviously it will be more prone to problems, but with proper tuning and a good fuel management it can be quite reliable

n/a is cool if that's what you're all about, but the lack of torque will own you... and you're building up a non-vtec which also hurts (ls/vtec perhaps?)


Anyways, I was trying to start **** or talk **** on your setup, we're all after the same goals more or less. I was thinking of going n/a when i was deciding on what to do, but i read enough posts, and talked to enough tuners and i finally decided on boost. Possibly not the best way to keep my car reliable, but you only live once and i love the feeling of getting thrown back into my seat whenever i punch it, and if i would have gone n/a, i'd still be $1000's away from that feeling

 

i agree...

 

My "Theory" on my engine set up is this..... since the block builds power down in the lower rpms more then that of a gsr per say and declines / loses power as RPMs rise. The intake manifold and headers exhuast and pulleys will help me gain the power up at the top. When building the head of the engine up with crower stage II cams and valve springs it will naturally give me more power, also i will need to move the rev limiter back to around 8500- 9000 because the motor will now be able to create power past stock specs, the valve springs are designed to handle high rpms. I plan on adjusting the cam gears to give me the most power in low-mid range how ever.... this may sound odd but the power needed for the higher RPMS will already be available because of the entire upgraded intake/exhaust system. Its hard to understand i know but let me know what you think.
