My 6 week Christmas break from school is coming up soon and I will be very very bored. Watch out for some heads/nitrous/turbo work done to my car as well as exhaust and suspension.

You're talking a custom intake manifold here.......if you have an idea lurking around in your gearhead, share it! This opens up a couple interesting possibilities.....and a couple complications. I suppose you could stick with just a single MAF and TPS, and leave the other TB un-sensored. It would simplify it greatly. Also remember the Series 1 TB was smaller in diameter than the Series 2.

Heh, actually yes. You catch on too quickly to how I think. Actually we were having some beer the other night and we are going to do an adjustable sheetmetal intake manfold. I don't like the runners on the L36 and we can have the sheetmetal manifold tunable for max torque at 3k rpm, or 4 just by changing the length of the runners. We also will probably try on my car a motorized system like the BMW'* use to have a flat torque curve from 2500 rpm'* and on. Like ADTR now? Then when the turbo goes on my car, imagine what that intake manifold can do, help make more power w/ boost... Hehehe, we are so stupid. It'* wonderful.
And anyone up for a Lightning or Cobra Throttle Body from Accufab? Hehehe..
P.*.

Complinitor-You're running right in my target range (my goal is 14.50'*) Did you have to do anything with the tranny? You're N/A too, right? How about some flow bench data, oversized valves... worth the $$$ or not? Where can you get a custom PROM for these cars?

Stock - 197HP / 225FTlbs
After headwork & rockers - 220HP / 251FTlbs
After high flow cat, K&N, resonator removed - 231HP/ /256FTlbs
A lot of people worry about the HP-$$$ratio. If you are on a limited budget and not racing you B on a regular basis, the headwork is not for you.
Also, you'll get a better flow if you go to a more radical cam, but I didn't want to break into that system, so I went for the upsteam rockers. They do about 75% of what a new cam would, so I'm happy... for now.

heads can't be more than $500 can they? Maybe I'm from the old school of performace (as well as old school music, strange for a 16 yr old) but i think that all heads and induction should be taken car of before a cam. but before i'll touch the motor i'm taking care of suspention and tranny, building it from the ground up. as you can see i've already started w/ the tires
