    Lemons - ludicrous speed

    figured I would start a real thread, with the build, heroic fixes, and general shysterism.

    looks like we are in for February, I think Dave is doing it also.

    I need some help adding some tube to the cage and moving the seat back. Read: a bender, welder, and a driveway.

    yes, if you still have it.

    Any thoughts on the best way to remove some welded tube? I was going to torch it off.

    cage is done, thanks to Rhino, Seth, Danny, Rowdy, and Sharpe for their help. Just needs a muffler and an oil change and we are ready to go. Did I mention the cage is now purple, because it is just that awesome.

    I skimmed through it, looks like a few pages of talking about doing it, and a few pages of wiring it up. I didn't catch if it was tuneable.

    I think for your car a ecu that will let you do blended alpha-n and speed density would be the best way to go. That cam has some big time over lap, and being a 4 cylinder I'll bet a vacuum gauge bounces all over the place at idle, so 100% speed density is out of the question.
