    Recipe options?

    I've been following your thread regularly! I'm really interested in the results with a larger down pipe. Good luck with that! Alky, injected or run, really isn't where I'm going, but I think it is a great way to go for people who want big performance gains. I am wondering, if it may even...

    Good luck with the E85! I haven't been reading too much on that section of the site. But it really seems to be one of the biggest bang for bucks type things. I need to do some more searching, I'm wondering how much boost you can push with 93 pump gas before knock becomes an issue. It's...

    Really interesting, congrats on the 13's! I imagine it really wakes up on the street, not just the track. Really interested to see how the big DP does for you, all else being the same.

    Yes, there is some very good advice here. I can't imagine how much more difficult, and costly, it would be to take on such a project without the support of the community here. I'm still very much in the planning stages, and haven't turned a wrench on it yet. I won't get very far this year...

    I've also got some information that going with a larger turbo, without using alky, or maybe nitrous, may be a problem when running on 93 pump gas. Seems one could run into knock issues when running higher boost without raising octane. It might be that just throwing a larger turbo at one of...

    Hi! Wish you luck with selling your parts. Just curious, how well did your combo work? Did it really wake the car up substantially? Do you think some parts of it worked better than others? Also curious, why you're going back to stock. Jeff

    Good post! There are many variants of combos, and this I'm sure is a good one. Just guessing, but I suspect something like this would easily rival/surpass a stock I/C car. Especially nitrous/alky. Actually, very little doubt about it. Not sure what the cost would be, so much depends...

    Thanks for clarifying things Brad. I'll try to work up a price list. And yes, I can see going down the rabbit hole...

    Thanks folks, I'm really learning a lot here. For various reasons, there are other people in a similar boat as me. They really don't want to get into a heavy duty rebuild of the whole system. Re-plumbing the whole intake and exhaust system can get very costly, and be a lot of work. Porting...

    Thanks again for your feedbacks! From reading here, and elsewhere, some mods will get some gains, until you run into walls, a big factor being that these engines don't breath well. I imagine the flow was well designed by GM, to support the the overall performance, reliability, and maybe...

    Up pipe and downpipe ahhhh Where do I draw the line? I really understand what boostedyards86 was saying. How stock appearing would a bigger up and downpipe be? I could quickly change it over to go back to stock, assuming I did not have to hack into the inner fenders, and so on... I...

    Thanks for the feedback guys! Seems like it is a +1 for 86/7 ECM, because I want to do some active tuning +1 TA33 turbo +1 a little more injector +1 Fuel pump, hotwire and adjustable FPR +1 higher flow cat. I really don't want to remove the cat altogether, or gut it. I didn't...

    yeah, I do understand how restricted the HA cars are. I've read about the comparisons to engines being an 'air pump'. I'm not knowledgeable enough to fully understand it, but it makes sense. I just don't know how far one could go with the restrictions (constrictions) that the HA cars natively...

    Thanks for the feedback! I really don't want to go E85. Actually, this might turn into a very fun project. I kind-of do want to dig into the engine, it needs to come out to be refreshed, cleaned more than anything. But if I have it out, I would like to get into the cam, and pistons, and...

    Thanks for the feedback! Yes, a TT chip is the most obvious way to go. With the mods I was thinking of, I imagine there would be SOME gain. I guess I'm looking at the collected wisdom here, to see if it would be worth it. I really don't know, would it be a nightmare to tune, for 20 HP...
