Okay guys, the speed bug has bitten, and won't let go. Here's what I'm planning on buying in the next month or so (for the '87 Notchback):
E303 cam, 1.7 roller rockers, Windsor Jr. heads, Cobra intake, 65mm TB, enlarging MAF to 61mm, new FRPP 19lb/hr injectors, hardened pushrods & guideplates (maybe), BBK full length headers & off-road H-pipe, BBK 190lph fuel pump, BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator, BBK fuel pressure gauge, FRPP aluminum driveshaft, Factory Five control arms, and a higher stall converter (mebbe 2400).
I already have 3.73 traction-lok, MAF conversion, K&N conical filter, Flowmaster exhaust, and B&M shift kit.
Okay, that's the majority of it. My questions are, what stall could I go with and still have it driveable (peak torque on E303 is @ 2500)? Will I run okay with 19lb/hr injectors? If not, 24lb/hr and/or a new MAF sensor? Would overboring the stock MAF be okay? Hehe, how's this beast gonna idle?
Please keep in mind I'm kind of going in two different directions at the same time with this project: has to be a reliable daily driver, but get
at least into the lower 13's (12's would be awesome!). But with EEC-IV, I've seen it done with no problems. I need
some fuel economy (currently getting a little more than 20mpg), but I want it to haul balls when I go to WOT, know what I mean? Thanks!
