Low 12's?

BowTie Eater 5 Liter · 01-30-2006, 05:34 AM

ok, thanks for the info, looks like im on the right track!

im hoping i can get away with the 1.7's but we will see when i get there(never planned on the cam but it just sorta happened after i had the 1.7's, they work fine now but with bigger valves who knows)

so either the tfs or afr's should be able to achieve my goal.

and yes i plan on running on slicks!

I'd check piston to valve clearance with the 1.7's for sure. I'd also check it on all 4 corners.

Sounds like a low 12 sec ride to me. Throw a bottle in the trunk and we're lookin at 11.5, 11.6, and a hell of a good time!

Good luck man!

I think you're going to have too much lift with 1.7's and the e-cam if you use flattops..
