How fast do you want your MSP to be?
- Thread starter JDM Sam
- Start date
That's not going to be very much the way prices for gas are getting... I want to be as fast as can be. If I was wanting to be as fast as I can afford the car would be sitting in the driveway and me on the forum cause I don't want to spend $$ on gas. Oh wait thats what it is now .So sad I'm going to go cry
I do I have a 92 sierra 2500 w the 4x4, I use it to tow a trailer. It takes 80 to fill because that's all you can fill with a CC, but that at least will get me to where I'm going and back a few times. It seems everytime I get it though it has an empty tank, DAMN YOU LEWIS!!!!DAMN YOU!!!! LOL

+/- 240hp at the crank, on STOCK turbine and STOCK engine... Must be pretty quick with my "light" LX.
Thanks to Victor for the advices and inspiration and to JDM Sam for the parts and tune!

Off topic, you have the best looking lx on the boards. Clean clean clean.

I'm gonna go up as days pass by so far i'm aiming 220 for this summer.
next will have to forge then see whats up
jdm sam- you working on tranny issues yet ?? or I better find a GTX 323 and get the tranny out of it ??
There is really nothing wrong with our motors...maybe the intake. But the limiting factor is money...and thats it. You can take any engine and make it as powerfull as you want...or as your wallet can take you. There is nothing better than an iron block with a closed deck design to make power. Get rid of the pencil thick rods...open up your intake...custom grind some cams (its not as expensive as people think), port the head and ofcourse upgrade your turbo and EMS and you will be there. There are people here that has done half of that and reached the 400 hp. I have faith (angel)
Not exactly sure what I run in quarter mile officially, since the "track" I raced on has spray painted start and finish lines!JOMO said:
Hopefully I can run at least a 13 something. All I know is I made my friend nervous and he's thinking about a supercharger now.http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109454
What ever happened to this? I asked Focus in another thread but didn't get any reply. I agree with Sam and Pirana, our bottom end (minus stock rods and pistons) is perfect high HP; you can't get much stronger than an iron block and forged crank. Solve the tranny problem and the sky's the limit (well...until the next weak link is revealed).

I'm hoping 215 to 220 whp now with my new intake mani. I think a tune of the afc may be needed to achieve this. I want to stay with Evo's and Sti's from a roll of course. I have stayed with an Sti before. I would like to pull on a stock MS3 as well. This car is my daily driver so I need it to be reliable also. I would like to run a 13.8 or better with drag radials at the track.
It's not that simple. If it were you'd see cheap ebay knock off gear sets already. Gears require precise machining and engineering before they can be made. The thing is gears can be made. Cost is the ultimate deciding factor. Without producing a large qty. the cost will remain elevated for everyone. Good news is that our gearsets are interchangeable with other platforms.benben84 said:
