PS - should add, I can't get ANY TWO SOURCES to agree what stock gearing is. My last post is nothing more than a shot at explaining what can happen when you switch fron an even-number sprocket to an odd, and visa versa.

 

16/43 or 16/42

I think it may depend on year, or manufacture date.

One tooth is going to make very little difference.

if you figure stock speedo is off by approx. 5% high, then putting a 42 tooth on the rear would probably correct most of the error.

 

stock it 16/43.

i got a 520 quick kit from sprocketcenter.com for a good deal. gettin that put on tomorrow.

I called the FACTORYPRO autherized tun eshop today and to get my web cams and dyno tuned with Digital 4 Gas exhaust analyzer
for about $650. the guy said the cams alone should get about 7-10 hp, and with the right tunning prolly 10-15 hp.. some where around there .as soon as i get the funds and get it done i will post my base line and tuned dyno sheets. We'll see.

 

if your going to put cams in you might as well put some other stuff in there too.

 

Yeah man, if it is coming apart anyways, get some top end work done. Porting & polish job would be a good idea. You know, for the cost, you could throw on a small turbo & leave the cams alone.

Start off reading that post on www.rrzone.com

Mr. Turbo kits are real expensive, like 3 grand expensive...

Getting a smaller ball bearing turbo, and rigging up an intercooler could be done for much less if you have the skills. It might be a little easier on the older 900's, I could see alot of dyno time in your future if you attempted this, custom mapping would be a must. From what I've read, a smaller turbo is better. You could get 30-40hp without stressing out the engine too much.

Smaller also = no lag.

You can also control how much boost you want, so if you want it to perform mostly stock, then you can, & then unleash the beast when you want.

 

make sure you let us know if you go with the smaller turbo! i wouldn't mind getting an extra 30hp also what kind of hp gains can you expect from doing a port and polish job?

 

Clean what you end up doing?
