[DML] Re: More performance?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>From the questions you are asking it is obvious you don't have the
expertise to do this properly. You need to get a hold of someone with
A LOT more knowledge than what you will get from this list. You should
also get as many books on this subject as you can to educate yourself.
This is no small undertaking and will cost a large amount. The more
worn path is to install the turbos which is also expensive but at
least there is a lot more expertise and experience. The quick and
short answers are, yes you SHOULD change the compression ratio and
that is most easily done by changing the pistons (but not the only
way). The fuel system can be used but only up to certain levels of
flow and power. A modern electonicaly controlled sequential port
injection system is a lot more adjustable so it would be easier to
change the "map". Of course if you go that route you should also
change the ignition system to complement the fuel system. As you can
see it can get complicated AND expensive quickly. Do your "frame up"
restoration first and if there is any money left over than you can
play with the motor.
