Re: Its done. (MeCarTay)

Wow, looks great. what are you doing for tuning? I'm not sure you'll hit 300 with a straight T3 and only 440cc injectors, but I still feel bad for your 020.
Any cam like a TT268/260 in there? why did you go so low with the compression, with forged slugs you can run a lot more timing due to the better squish area than a headspacer car. I would have stayed closer to 8.5-9:1 to make off boost more responsive.

Oops yeah, theres a 268 in there back from the n/a days.
Reason for the low compression is the ability to run more boost. Last year it was making 17psi@8.5:1 and ended up blowing due to ****ty tuning. I'd rather not bash that company on these threads, but Jeff Atwood is tuning the car now, so it'll be in good hands.

Gunna see how it goes with the current one on there, but i have a feeling its gunna have a t3/t4 by h20.
As far as the compression goes that just allows the car more room to run higher boost levels as a bigger turbo is most likely in the near future. I'd hate to run 8.5:1 and then tear it apart again to lower it to 8.0:1. Just wouldn't make much sense.

Re: Its done. (all-starr-me)

Most people who run 400+hp with built motors go 9:1...or at the most 8.5:1 .. The difference only being that the lower compression means higher boost...so all in all if anything your still running the same power in the end.. regardless http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

With proper tuning you should be able to run higher compression, especially on forged pistons, 8:1 is super low. I would take a 16v head over really low compression anyday to make 300 hp.

Well for the short term yeah I agree, but not when I plan on running a bigger turbo in the near future like I said earlier. The whole purpose of the car was to keep it 8v. Otherwise I would of used an aeb head by now.
Keep em coming

Re: Its done. (MeCarTay)

That is totally awesome http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
8:1 CR doesn't make that much sense running a t3super60, besides the insaine quick spool
not hatin, just thinking 8:1 deserves 20-30psi

Curious what mangament your running, I don't think I caught that
very clean ride I love it
