well.. heres my 2..
the main toy is a 93 cavalier with a 2.2
Why bother you ask? Well.. I have built many v8 vegas and i thought the cavy looked kinda similar.. after checking the engine bay, chassis and rear suspension it looked like a fairly easy swap...
then I saw Fast and the Furious...
About that same time I watched ESPN2 having import drags and saw a 10 sec pass.. i thought 'not bad for an 1/8th mile'
OOPS!! that was a 1/4 mile!! and it was all motor!
So when I came to I decided that since i spent weekends tuning a 4cyl midget sprint car that I too could easily reach 10's.. see what happens when I start thinking?
Well.. having DIS and PFI is whats stopping me from putting in my killer pistons/rods/block/cam although I have the ported head on already. Thats the main reason why I even bothered trying to learn all this ECM hacking stuff..
Project #2 is our sprint. After being DOMINATED by Ray Evernhams dodge motors this year we scoured the rulebook.. it would seem there is no rule if your injection is mechanical or electronic. Since we will never have the HP or the engineering powerhouse that the dodges have.. we are thinking maybe we can sneak in some other advantage. After all Keith Kuhns is only human and he tunes for WOT. If we can get a part throttle advantage we may be able to win a few more races. At least if they are last lap restarts!
Thats my side project..
So what are your toys? Whats in them.. and why are they all faster than mine!!!! ;D
