Since I'm done w/ 2006 and will have plenty of changes for 07 I figured I'd share this.
The lower line is my car in ~2003 when it was still a street car but had basicly the same engine mods up till June of this year.
The higher line is with the following.
- AEM EMS
- 2.0L block which was ~2 years old.
- Karners Old Custom Intake
- Toda Header
- Toda Spec C cams
- Toda Adjustable Cam Gears
- Supertech Dual Valve Springs and Ti Retainers
- Custom 3" exhaust from burns stainless (welded by TC Design)
- 9300 rev-limit
I should add that the cams and the cam gears gave the least gains. (only a couple hp).
Okay, so the cat's out of the bag . And the difference in tires is worth about a second too (18's vs 17's on my car last year vs this year). So I feel better now about my performance this year vs you and Derek .
richard post your dyno. your 2.2L and ems is -atleast- that much hp. that and I didn't get the hp till mid season (cal speedway event) sorta shoots your theory cuz I was still beating you before then
and bill yes sorry I forgot the ems. duh. as for time, it's really hard to say. not nearly as much as I had hoped for. I'll go back and see but at thill I didn't see much of a change. .5 to maybe 1 sec. Tho the extra 300 rpms was handy.
I recall only 210 HP, but could be wrong, but it was much lower than expected. No print out. I remember Shawn was puzzled and Drew disappointed. Well the tires alone would make me lap myself last year vs. this year .
BTW, my fastest lap in first race at Cal speedway was faster than yours . Skinnier tires don't last the race as well. Same even last weekend, where qualifying is within half second, but no comparison in race.
You need to get a spec F2000 too so we can really compare .
shawn will have the dyno. you can have him plot it vs mine.
And yeah right you tried to race me and are running off to a new series, I'm not gonna spend that kind of $ (for a F2k racer) to beat you there Besides right now I'm not interested in formula cars.
I'll be up here in ITE all next season and as I already told you bitterman and I will be renting spec miatas atleast 1 weekend and you're more than welcome to rent one then and come race us too.
