1)I would lower my cr, but I can't help to wonder what 10psi and 10:1 cr would feel like, all dependent on proper tuning 2)Keep stock ECU and injectors for better everday driveability and go with 2 extra inj from a seprate set-up for high boost situation. Of course all the usuall fuel pump upgrade and fpr 3)Of course 4)T-3 family with a super-60 compressor trim and 72 turbine wheel with a .42 a/r for quicker spooling. Since it will be a everyday driver who am I fooling with a larger a/r and we all know how VE autos suffer down low. 5)100-150 hp on those cooler days, what ever boost I can safely run without destroying the engine 6)Personally I'll go with a wet housing, even though it takes extra coolant piping. A wet housing will help during the warm down time especially after shuting of the engine, the warmer coolant will help prevent the oil within the bearing housing 7)Why not
Basically I was asking incase I decide to go that route to make sure I'm heading down the right path. Like many others I consider myself a DIY's and do research before hacking. Unfortunately I don't know of a source for thicker head gaskets, but with proper fueling the higher compression ratio might not be a issue. I also figure a lower cr would help for a happy and long life with force induction. Custom making a "money" piece is no problem, besides as stated I have a auto. What material did you guys use to fabricate the money piece, is ss? What does it include, is it a 3, 2 or 1 piece set? Just a little more info needed. I may consider it since it would help lower the countless hours begins a welding shield. I agree, use 3rd gener's have more flexability with fueling, hell we can retard our timing with basic hand tools and no fancy high dollar electronics. I'll even answer my own question
