"half mile asphalt" what kind of racing, i assume oval or road course.

Sorry Yes its a half mile oval.

Remember when sex was safe and racing was dangerous .

wow awesome double post in two different sections.

solid oval can be tricky, as too much torque creates understeer. too much top end will have you bogging after youve slowed down before either bank and are accelerating out the other side. id try and get as many cfms through the motor as possible, what are your class restrictions/degree of the banks in and out of the turns/any bank on the straights?

Sorry I dont know the details of my track but heres a vid of it to give you a understanding of how it is if you want to look.http://www.youtube.com/user/hornetshop#play/uploads/7/VOy1tIJl_zs. And I race a manual and 3rd gear with big tires still rev limited way to quick so I went to 4th with 195/55/R15's but its such a high gear for that track so its not pulling nearly hard enough because i loose all the rev's through the corners and I have to make them up on the straight so I need more power and yes and car is one of the best handling out there.

It says skys the limit for your motor just no turbos or super chargers and you must have stock suspension. And sorry I am new here just joined today.

Remember when sex was safe and racing was dangerous .

My first question would be what are your current mods?

If you dont have the basic bolt ons id start there.

Yes I have a cold air intake,straight piped and lexan windshield. Any other easy bolt ons? I would like it get a header but im not sure how much they really help because its not a high compression motor.

Remember when sex was safe and racing was dangerous .

they will allow you to have all the power n/a you can get but absolutely zero suspension mods? wtf?

id never do that in a j-body on a freaking asphalt surface. no way, no how. i choose life.



Every time I scream "Release", I mean it, you know it. I feel the day. Black 7.

LSD?

i choose life, hahaha.

This is what is says Stock carburetor or fuel injection for that year, make and model of car. Must be equipped with an enclosed are cleaner/filter assembly. No turbo or superchargers. No cold air intake systems. lol but its not high end racing at all its a cheap class entry level racing it only cost me a grand to get into it dont think its high horse power cars with stock suspension all the cars only have 120-220 horse and im still alive

I assume you've also freed up restriction, catalytic converter....and you might be able to get a fuel pressure riser, no experience with one, but rksport claims gains.

And no suspension mods, can you atleast use braces?

Yes I have freed up the restriction theres no cat or muffler. And thanks ill look into the fuel pressure riser . and heres exactly what the rules say Maximum four cylinder car (excluding convertibles, 4 wheel drives) with a complete (no missing fenders, bumpers, etc.) stock steel body, interior, frame and suspension. No bracing anywhere except the drivers compartment. P.S. do you have a link for a fuel pressure riser?

Remember when sex was safe and racing was dangerous .

cams,p+p,pistons,valves,etc. etc.

I've though about that but doesn't the computer like freak out and not run good?

Remember when sex was safe and racing was dangerous .

skys the limit?????????

o the fun i could have

tune....

Is there anything else I can do to my motor without pulling it that would increase the HP????

Remember when sex was safe and racing was dangerous .

not safely without doing a sc/tc which you already said you can't do,the one's i listed are the basics of an n/a engine,and they're gonna cost you along with a tune,i'm sure some more experienced members will shed some light on this at some point or another but those are basics for just about any engine,there's plenty more you can do but if you have none of this done already i would look in that general direction.

weight reduction FTW!

All the glass is gone interior head lights and metal ribing under the hood truck and doors.

fuel pressure riser, don't ask me about it, cause idk about them, but it sounds like you can gain close to 10 hp

eco swap ?????
