Wow when you first started it I thought it was a v8!

 

Talk about a lumpy idle!

When I took her to the track, you have to pass tech. inspection. The guy did not believe my that it was the stock inline 6. I had to pop the hood just to prove it to him. That made me happy!

I never raced her. I was going to when I was there but ran out of time with the dyno run.

 

Any have a guess as to what times they think I might run it the 1/4 mile? I had a MAZDASPEED Protege before that ran a 15.3s 1/4 mile. I just want to know how they compare.

Jernut,

nice car! Just curious how you like your BWT-5 trans . I am going with the same set-up with the 3.54 diff and I am anxious to see how it performs with a N/A engine. I am figuring the first 2 gears will run pretty quick but not sure about the other gears with the bwt-5 ratio spread. Can you let us know how it drives on the highway? How's the overdrive rpms, and how much downshifting to get in a good powerband? There is a lot of folks who say that trans won't work well with a n/a engine, what do you think? are you running the stock shifter?

Sorry for so many ????? but that set up is a little unique:)
