It all started with my dad telling me
to get a K&N air filter.... I noticed the improvement in gas mileage
and it seemed to run smoother (imagination). So I asked what else
I could do... dad said "larger throttle body" So I got one...
Before I knew it I was on the dark path to
becoming a speed freak. Next I replaced my squeaky / shaky
clutch with a Centerforce Dual Friction. Then I got 3.73 gears and
the K&N FIPK. That was cool... I actually felt a difference.
Next was a MAC catback with 3.5 inch tips... now I heard the difference.
I decided to do something "big" so I ordered some PI heads,
ported and with cams of course, from online-racer. Holy cow
Batman.... you car is slower than mine now! That was the ignition
spark and I was full of wet NOS dreams. I didn't want NOS
though... decided to go blower. So I had a custom engine built -
thanks L&R and online racer (Ed)! Sweet engine, all forged,
etc. Needed a tranny to back it up - Viper T-56. Had to get
another clutch (doh!) McLeod street twins with flywheel.
Then finally the big one - ProCharger D1-SC.
Yes.... YES!!!! I like!!! 12psi pulley only made 8psi (due
to ported heads and low compression I guess). So I am having it
swapped for 16psi pulley (should make about 12).
Computer / dyno tune not done, so here's the
numbers @ 8psi... 430 to the wheels baby!
There's obviously a lot more to the story,
but I am in a rush... gotta go to my 2nd job to pay off all my auto
expenses!
This is one perfect
rag California Rag-top Pony, great job Dave!! |
