It honestly drives me crazy to the point that I dont even want to get on the forum sometimes all we seem to get is clowns crying about there mistakes are a products fault for there poor numbers/performance.

Old thread but I love the numbers all around. +1 for all the right parts intermixing to both make good numbers and perform well on top of it.

Thanks!

The car is on E85 now and I've street tuned it. We've yet to take it to the dyno to dial it in and being that its our daily driver, haven't been able to afford to take the car down to make any drastic changes. We're working on another n/a B-series so most of our focus has been on trying to get that done before the snow hits.

Here's a clip from a year ago at the track, obviously it needs to be dialed in and more seat time is needed. It has now been 4+ years of daily driving (40k+ miles), ocassional track runs, stock rods, and 10k rpms

I assume you are speaking in reference to building a higher HP 1.8?

bringing it back for a random question - what headgasket and thickness was used on this motor

slowsleeper

We are using an OEM headgasket.

do you think changing to a skunk2 ultra "street" manifold would pick up any gains overall or just peak power? Great numbers. Might have to create a similar setup for my road race car.

I'd put my money on the PX

It's not the original one, heavily modified, hard to tell. I would guess about even with this one.
Stock PX would loose IMO.
I hope one day someone will test.

Rocket

True, it's not a stock, unmodified PX.

Can't wait to post up my set up. To show yall what can be done for a road race car using rocket cams the real deal up in here! Slowsleepers builds r and have been proof that it's not about big names but knowing ur stuff and function not big bucks and following just one brand...

Wtf how in the world does rocket get banned? Can't handle the truth? Cowards

This is what the setup made with the SHELF/unmodded Performer X. The Shelf Px in stock form works well as-is as well.

Nice!

What size throttle body was used with stock px? Excellent results btw.

slowsleeper

We didn't change the TB at all, using a 70mm throttle body.
