There's a kart track about 40 mins away, $10 per driver, could have two cars ready in a week. Now how tempting is that.

Sadly, Francis has curred out several times from my offer to come kick his *** at Mid Ohio.

I've played with plenty of engines, especially Hondas, design, build, and tune every part. That's why I'm calling you out. You, sir, know nothing, but we already knew that.

post some dyno sheets of the engine that you have tuned/built. maybe we'll talk. so far you're just yet another **** talker.

Hey, same thing for me. My wife just said so the other day when I was explaining why it made sense for me to buy another Cup Car....she said "you are funny, and cute too". Then she walked away shaking her head (probably wondering how she could be so lucky).

So you did mean on board diagnostics? So the whole thing of tuned exhaust is a misnomer?

some call it header, some call it exhaust manifold, some call it extractor. functions the same.

Odd, never heard the term...

i'm a cheap ***. the CTR pistons in it has way to big of a dome and impedes flame travel. our experience has been a flat top or a moderately dome piston design works much better than such a huge dome. combustion chamber design is critical.

You might want to let Dodge know that the hemi isn't a functional combustion chamber design. If you were using domed pistons, then you'd have changed the head. Who makes hemi heads for a Honda?!? That'd be for torque and that wouldn't do much for your quest for hp....

That'd be a lot of money to have custom heads....otherwise you'd have valves sunk into piston heads. That seems to impede flame travel too

just a el cheapo ebay 3" shortram intake for now. a bit of room for improvement on the intake setup. haven't had time to build/modify the new setup. with Neptune we have full access to the fuel/ignition map.

Wouldn't the intake have specific requirements? Would they be able to tune for it? And running an el cheapo intake on your pride and joy seems like a scary proposition...are you going to port and polish it or run it with the burrs and swirls? You'd probably want to do something along those lines if it's that cheap....

nope, Honda fuel pump is plenty fine for all motor applicaitons. if needed Walbro high pressure fuel pumps are only $100 or so and support upwards of 600 whp. FM currently runs 270 cc injectors from NSX C30A engine. stock injectors are 240 cc.

Yeah, like I said, I'm not your local import specialist, but somethings hold true across the board...timing the fuel pump for the faster draw of fuel will save a motor

So what was the max compression you were running again? With all the piston designs, you must've ended up sucking a valve somewhere along the line...
