If you guys could get up enough people, we could do a dyno day in Montgomery. My megasquirt guru runs the local dyno; maybe he could get us a good package deal.
Then there's always MMP

What could you possibly tune on an N/A? If you want numbers, just go to Walker's in Trussville. Otherwise, ask around on alabama racing scene dot net for T-town dynos

Dialing in the cams
Adjusting the ignition timing
Various other tweaks and tuning tricks to get extra power out of the motor
Begin Rant:
Too many people think all they have to do to get big numbers is to throw a turbo kit onto their motor and that's all. They seem to forget all about the motor that's attached to that turbo. Alot of times I see a turbo on a shit-tuned motor which ends up destroying the motor. Motor first, turbo last. A turbo is a perfomance enhancer. It doesn't matter how much PSI it can push without well tuned motor behind it.
When people do a NA-T build I advocate a 2 tune process. First tune the motor NA then add your power adders and re-tune the motor. The first tune will help you find the forgotten power of the motor. All those 1-2 RWHP mods that others tell you to forget about because they feel that they are not worth the effort will add up in the end. Escpecially if your trying to get over a certain HP target. And the second tune is to combine the performance of a fine tuned motor with the performance enhancing of the turbo.
This rant was not targetted toward anyone. It was not meant to offend but to inform.
End Rant:
I'm not into building a WOT monster. Just something that can take the turns without having to wait for my motor to reach the upper RPM range for my power band to begin when I hit the apex of the turn
Yeah, if you have aftermarket cams and adjustable cam gears, then yeah, you can move the powerband here and there. Just not loads to be made from what understand/experienced.
When you throw the turbo in the mix, you're looking at a complete turnaround from that tune, usually in the opposite direction (ignition wise).
Again, Walker is cool. Catch a dyno day

I agree with you. Throw in some cams, adjustable gears, PNP, and little off the head. Let's not forget the valve train to handle all that. Which improves the performance of either NA or turbo. With any FI or nitrous you definitely want to retard the timing. If not you're going to Swiss cheese your pistons, if you're lucky.
we need to do somthing before it gets hot. i've been trying to get as much done as i can so i can sit around all summer. at least i hope. i need to get some funds up too. so i can finsh my 85 i have a feeling its going to take along time to get it where i want it. a 85 with a 7mgt and a r154 should be pretty fun. well the 87 n/a is up and running. aaron thanks for that p.s. hose that would have sucked driving to nash with out power stearing. am still interested in the green car i have a tank and pump sitting around. and as far as the 88 i still dont know what am going to do with it. its been sitting two years it can sit another two years for all i care.
