Trick question for the real power makers out there:
If you had a very limited budget but wanted EVERY possible ounce of horsepower and torque out of a SC engine what would you do?
Here is why I asked.
My 1990 SC engine is now being installed in a 1967 Datsun SPL1600 Roadster. Imagine your favorite engine in a 1500lb chassis... yup that's the ticket.
We are building the car for a magazine event that requires you to spend ONLY $2000.00 on the purchase, improvement and completion of your car.
I have all the components to start with, a HEAVILY modified frame with Miata front suspension and Mustang rear suspension, a full TBird SC to part out, a set of split port 97 f150 heads and intake should I choose to turbocharge as opposed to supercharge, 1998 Mustang tube headers, a buddy with a mandrel bender in his garage for exhaust and tubing issues a 3.55 Ranger gearset for the Stang rear.
What would YOU do to make free/cheap horsepower with one of these.
What I plan to do:
-Port supercharger/intake/heads
-Megasquirt-N-EDIS system for fuel adjustability
-Tube headers (stock 98 Mustang) X-pipe and short dual 2.5" exhaust
-Focus fuel tank and pump (worlds best kept secret) as well as Walbro external 255lph pump
-Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
-Water injection
-Nitrous shot
Ideas to entertain
-Supercharger pulley - WHERE AND HOW CHEAP?
-Alternate throttle body - WHICH ONE? BEST JY SWAP?
-Any other suggestions?
