SD questions

[74grabber]

Been doing some research and found some answers to my questions - interent is wonderful lol....

Found one proven combo:

1988 Lx Hatch 5 spd SPEED DENSITY. Bassani full lengths/ x-pipe, flowmasters, 1250 intake matched E7's, bowls blended, exh-bumps removed, GT40 intake w/65mm TB, STOCK CAM w/1.7's, pullies, K&N, 190 lb pump, pro5.0 shifter, spec 1 clutch, Eibach DL kit, 90/10's 50/50's, 4.10's, 26X10 Et Drags, front sway bar removed, full weight- A/C and smog still there! lol Best ET (n/a): 12.68 @ 106 w/ 1.64 60' Best ET (75 shot) 11.86 @ 111.8 1.54 60'

With a ton of others running low to mid 12's as well. Looking at his combo and what he is running id say im not far away with some home porting and afew bucks in springs, shocks, TB and intake.

I am assuming in a GT that i would guess is a tad heavier then his LX and on street tires its still a honest low 13 and maybe a high 12.

Also found that the following cams will work with SD - you will need an adjustable fuel reg -

comp cams nx264hr
crower 15510 or 15511
comp cams xe270hr


Info was found at 50tech.com

So its off to ebay to see about getting some parts and seeing if i can make this thing any faster heehhe.


FYI right now i run a stock cam with the 1.7 rockers and i get a surge at idle till the car is warmed up - its NEVER died on me, but gets annoying when the police are sitting next to you at a light lol.... After the car is warm it idles smooth at 900rpm and sounds very strong.

I liked the sound of the 15511 crower cam - had a slight lope to it and wanna see if that will work with the stock 87 block with the 1.7 rockers.


anyways found some answers
