Sorry for repeating, but I added more information. I am getting into the business of racing and I my 1974 (1971 Corolla engine) corolla go faster. I have spots and my car has a horse at the start but not go fast. I also have a light exchange for a new rpm gauge, but jumps up and down the rpm and the light comes on, because it is in 8000, but I'm really only in 6000. Why do that. I webers on it, but does not perform well. I took all the weight I can go (not want to cut rare car) but I am stuck in the 14s with her values. I am putting in the numbers but I'm not using until the 13S. I need something between $ 1000 and $ 3000 that will give a good change. if you do not belive what makes a horse here is a http://photosbyjim.smugmug.com/gallery/6301587_iMpMF Photo # 397877216_m7LZr
if your car is the yellow 2-door car, its reality, doing a wheelie. i had to see it to believe it. anyway, you can definitely pulls more weight the car using fiberglass panels (eg, hood, tailgate, front fenders). do not worry, you are cutting the car, because you can put all the sheet back into the car to make it original again. If this were my car, I begin with the suspension. if the car has monocoque design, start with a set of subframe connectors. These are inexpensive and stiffen the car and make the launch straighter. then get some 90/10 drag shocks for the rear and 70/30 's for the front. This will improve the transfer of weight to help you get on the road faster and rectum. Remove the front swaybar. Why? the elimination of front swaybar front suspension increases during acceleration easier, too stabilizer bar weighs 10-15 pounds, so it just got lighter. that relocating the battery to the trunk on the right side. This improves the weight transfer putting more weight on the rear of the car. On the engine, you said you have high compression pistons, that's great, but how much more you have a hole? bigger pistons = more displacement. you could make a kit. This gives you more displacement and more horsepower. intakes, throttle bodies, camshafts, headers and exhaust systems all work together. so these mods will give you more power on the cheap. The faster you can get air in and out of your engine, the more power you will ever make. a turbo is a way to make their car reach 13, but high compression + boost = engine grenade. low compression if you want to run a turbo nitrous is the easiest way to power and go faster in those days. Just remember to use a wet kit dry kit on it make more power with wet nitrous kit. This is because the liquid nitrogen is mixed with the liquid fuel before being injected into the combustion chamber. different rear gear will also make it faster. the majority of shares of updates is configured for saving Fuel, not acceleration. Try putting a 4.30:1 (higher number = faster acceleration) the art in it not a mk3 Toyota Supra Turbo (stock gearing). I definitely will be faster and probably get to 13 only half the gear change to what his boot tachometer. I do not know what does. I hope this helps you and your corolla towed win some races.
