Pintos make good power, ours was 190bhp and seeing as its fiber glass should be reasonably quick

[55starchief]

What - "Holy $hit Fast" and "Fast as F*ck" ?

[55starchief]

No mate, was reading in HotRod they have boost bleed now on the modern chargers so that you can run like 8psi or 2psi if you wanted

[Roadkill]

Still, the MPG could be a little concerning . . . .

Nah not with injection, i know you dont like it but it would work real well with a blown motor and offer both power and economy

You're turning on me aren't you, Injection Boy?

Didn't you say that the injection conversion kits cost a fortune?

Just looked and the holley multi point injection is around $1400-$1700 depending on the CFM

unless you go for their stealth system then it jumps to $2200

That's sensible, good power and good MPG.

Depends on how they were built.

Any modified car/kit car suffers from the same problems - not just Rods.

A Cobra kit or Caterham would be exactly the same.

Just looked at the pictures....very very cool I'd deffinatly have that in my dream garage
