Right now I have a d16y7 with a few mods. Centerforce stage 3 clutch, CAI, a/c delete, performance plugs + wires, megan racing header, and a 2" custom exhaust. I have read somewhere that getting a FPR wont really give me an advantage over not having one. is this true? i found an underdrive pulley and cam gear as a set for 180. I know what the pulleys do but how exactly does the cam gear work as far as adjusting it? sorry if these questions have already been answered. i just want to know more specifically with the mods i have what would be good to do next

 

just curious why do you have a stage 3 clutch when ur not putting out that much power? Does your clutch even engage?

 

I got a good deal on it through the business my work gets some of their stuff from. I plan on putting a turbo on it but thats not gonna be until im out of school, and i race a lot thats why my stock clutch started slipping.

 

1) please tell me you don't street race... and if you do, at least don't roll race... roll racing is (to quote tony) the gayest thing since gay came to gayville.

2) look into getting an aftermarket cam... but before you do, you need to be 100% sure whether you'll boost or not; turbo and street cams are different. You can use a N/A cam on a turbo motor, but you won't see as good of gains as you will with a turbo cam.

3) check into an intake mani and a bigger throttle body. You really won't see huge gains with no turbo and the stock cam, but you'll see decent gains once you do put a cam in or boost it

4) if you have the stock cam, don't worry about a cam gear; all it is with the stock cam is bling. Once you have an aftermarket cam that can actually benefit from adjustments, feel free to get a gear.

 

no i don't roll race. and its actually pretty organized street racing. the chicago cops are fairly cool about it as long as we dont block the road when an occasional trucker comes through
What company makes a cam for the d16y7? I haven't been able to find any. Should I do the mini-me swap and then get a cam? will that head affect me getting a turbo later on? thanks for the help!

 

organized street racing...like fast and furious 1 and 2?

 

...oh good god

 

Lol 2Fast2Furious ha ha great movie :P that'd be wierd if it happened

 

yeah haha its just like fast and the furious. maybe a little bit of tokyo drift in there too. not really though. heres a video from there so you can kinda picture what its like http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ4G9kQdnrY i think i mighta been parked on the side of the road in that video but you cant see my car but i do remember those two cars racing. the only car there that beat that red trans am was a 90 civic hatch but idk what he has done to it exactly he didn't speak english at all lol.
heres another video at the ford plant which is right down the street and we go here if doty gets too hot http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ljRh57hz9cQ
thats how we do it in south chicago

 

lol nice, that looks pretty well organized for street racing. cops dont care enough to break it up?
