[urq] '83 UrQuattro - Now CIS Potential

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Hey Ben, well, yes, I see what your'e saying, I guess my emial was addressing the general statement containing words "easily, CIS, and 300hp" all in the same sentence.

You've got a good set up that should flow, and with the 034 SIC you'll be able to give the motor all the fuel it needs, my only caveat to you is the flow through the CIS meter, you haven't really addressed that and I'm not sure there is much you can do about it.  Also, what IC are you running, if its the dual pass you'll want to go to a single pass at the minimum.

What I would say, however, is talk is cheap (this goes for me and all of us), get that sucker up and running and take her to a dyno, if you can get some good wheel hp #'s running through the CIS meter (having addressed so many of the other restrictions), then you'll be breaking some good ground.  Let me know if I can help.
