Hey man, thanks for chiming in there. Curiosity has always been a crutch for me. I’ll stay hot I think. I am interested in squeezing as much power as I can though.
To put it simply, I think alky/E-85 is the way to go.
But I wouldn't stop there. If I knew I was going to be in it for the long haul, I would go strait to work on a total build and fabrication project. But it wouldn't include a intercooler.
-Modified or custom headers for a 4 bolt turbo with external wastegate.
-V-band 3 -1/2 inch downpipe.
-Sheet metal or 87' style intake with sheet metal plenum (mock-up will determine best approach.) Turbo would be on the top with V-band connection.
-FAST-XFI.
-TR-6 CNP
-Big throttle body pre-turbo.
-Possibly a
constant very mild methanol mist 7 injector pre-turbo/post throttle body. <-- I really would work hard to make this happen!
Not to mention a built motor. But I would get started on the fab and set-up using a stocker. When it blows up, I would go for the gusto.
If you want low 10 or even deep 9 second performance, In the end, your going to end up with all the stuff that the 86/87 guys end up getting anyway. Why prolong the inevitable? TH 400. Electric radiator fans. 3-1/2 single shot exhaust.
Funny thing. It's difficult and expensive to get an 84/85 to just run deep 11's. But once you choose to go 9's, it don't think it will cost any more than it will with an 86/87 TR.
