Hey, anything's possible, but there are a lot of people who have been here on the boards for a long time and we/they know what a contour can and can not "generally" pull off in the 1/4.

A couple things that tripped my "BS" meter were:

1) Extrude hone is the only place on the face of the planet (that I know off) that can port our upper intake due to it's geometry. They patented the extrude hone process - so they are it. Unless pauls sent out your upper all they could do is port match the TB and the lower intake ports.

2) To remove the heads and have them ported and polished and a valve job (and bling bling titanium springs )would be almost ridiculous to do without just throwing in a 3.0 at the same time. Anyone who is going to spend the couple few thousand dollars to do it would almost without question spend an extra $500 dollars for a junk yard 3.0 and do the swap at the same time. (Removing heads on car == LOTS of time and labor, darn near impossible to tq rear headbolts. Removing heads with engine out == 3.0 for very little more money)

just my uneductaed .02

So you P&P'd your heads and got a chip and you knock .8 seconds off of the average stock times....Why would you P&P your heads and not open up the intake or exhaust whatsoever? That is a s$^#load of money to be spending if you're just going to stop there. P&P gave you 20whp AND 20 ft.lbs and the chip gave you 15whp and 15 ft./lbs huh?...do you have any dynos to prove this VERY skeptical claim or time slips from the track? I know if I got that time I would MOST DEFINITELY get a slip, at the least.

I have been reading all these 1/4 posts with loads of interest. Mainly because I have the road test for my car, dated back in 1995, and Autocar magazine tested a stock 170hp duratec V6 to run the 1/4 in 16.1 seconds @ 88mph. I cant understand how SVT models cant seem to brake into the 14 second barrier? I thought that the extra 30hp and torque over the standard model would be enought to knock a second off the regular time? (please bear in mind in Ireland we have no 1/4 mile tracks, and I have never been to one,)

Is the gearing different on the American cars? What ideally would you need (or what kinda power) on a 2.5 motor to brake in the 14's?

I think the ST200 model our version of the SVT (with 200hp) is in the low 15's, (unmodified)I have the roadtest somewhere but I will have to dig it out.

One of my mates had a 1.5 , and then 1.6 CRX. (89 models) and he went to Santa Pod in the UK for a CRX meet. Everyone was getting into the 14's.....

That's probably because I do not take to bullsh~t well at all and you are always full of it.


You posted a 2.3 60' time and then a 9.49 1/8 mile time.

100% complete and utter bullsh~t just using those 2 split times alone much less comparing the 1/8 to the 1/4 or 1000' or et cetera verses other runs.



BTW CB99SVT also posted a 9.49 1/8th mile. However he had a lot more mods then you (he's ~185/160 wheels iirc) including two very important ones.
An LSD and Drag Radials are what really got the 9.49 by running a 2.04 60' time. Not to mention it takes an excellent driver and speed shifter to maintain those outstanding split times.


So yes your split times are 100% bogus if you suspect us to believe your car magically picked up 50lb feet of torque "after" 330' and then dropped 30 HP on the top end (after half track)

I was going to suggest that, but Juststock here will probably claim he got it from a DIFFERENT Street Flight.....
