Next mod?

What would you recommend for a next mod?

My combo:

Stock engine, GT40x 58cc heads ported & polished, E303, GT40 ported and polished, 70/65mm 24lbs injector, regulator, MAC 1 5/8" long tube. 1.72 rocker arms.

Thinking on a new cam but not really shure 'cause the compression ratio is too low. what to do next?

thanx

ok, forgive me if i missed something, but how is your compression to low with 58cc heads?? you could probly see noticable hp and torque gains with a different cam. id call around to places like comp, crane, lunati, isky, etc...and see what all of their tech guys reccomend and go with what you like best. for custom cams, i hear ed curtis at fti can't be beat(dont forget to mention the 1.72 ratio though). id assume you already have pulleys on her? a cam isnt a bad idea at all, cant do wrong if you're replacing an alphabet cam. just my two cents. nick

About the compression ratio, ok it's higher than stock but don't know is enough to go to a bigger cam?

I don't know about the cam.....but I'd say some gears. Also look at getting some subframes and strut tower brace, you road race, right? Look at the stuff that maximum motorsports has

lito · 04-03-2001, 06:02 PM

Dino, currently have 4.10 plan to swap 3.73 back.

Already has FMS strut brace, Steeda round connectors.

And yes, maximum has great things.

Currently bought from them:

Rear lower arm adjustable height
H&R springs 950-1050F,250-300R

Expecting to receive Aluminum panhard, Torque Arm

I didn't realize you had so much! I was thinking about saying you should get a tq arm but didn't know what you already had. That is a great mod, from what I've heard. Have fun, and make sure to tell us how it works out.

Haven't installed it yet. I currently have a granatelli panhard and chassis engineering ball joint uppers. I''ll remove uppers and unweld the granatelli and throw it as far as possible to never see it again.

Later will reinforce torque bos and install the TA and Panhard.

My bad dude, I overlooked the "E303" in your sig. (I assumed you had a stock cam) I think that cam is good a good match for your combo.
I would say the only thing left is some boost!

Boost?

Before starting this thread, I was afraid that "boost" would be the answer I may got.

I am not so motivated by the "boost", mainly because I want something that can hold up 15-20 laps constant in a country with a very inclement weather like mine.

Maybe someday, but right now I want something smaller and cheaper. I have the "boost" in my wish list but way after the T56.

So I don't know
