It's just stuff you do when you're in a position to be shut down by some kid in a Mustang or some old guy in a British Racing Green MGB with a roll bar and a set of Webers. Getting geewhizz stuff from offshore isn't cheap or easy so I never bothered to even look. I started out by measuring intake flow and density over the range of rpm at full throttle after rejetting and setting the advance curve for best power. That told me that the motor could benefit from longer intake runners and more carburetor (the idea being to flatten the mid-upper torque curve while using a cam with more duration and overlap to extend torque over 6000 rpm). The exhaust headers were just a throw-in - they prolly did as much for gas mileage as they did for power (which wasn't much - they went on last and were worth less than 0.3 sec in the quarter). The carburetors were just the plain-old 2 barrel downdraft ones that come on Corollas - I got the 2nd one from a rustbucket the dealer had taken for a trade-in (the dealer was a hotbed of sporty-cars racers so I just showed up sometimes on weekends and went to work either on my car or helpin' somebody else out before heading off to the hillclimb or whatever). The intake was machined from 2024 plate - top half and bottom half with viton o-rings on mating faces. The carburetors sat above a plenum with a baffle between 1-2 and 3-4 to strengthen the signal and keep the low rpm mixture uniform. After some experimentin' I had uniform exhaust gas temps and plug color, and a nice smooth top end. The midrange torque went up a lot too. Then the brakes were proven to be less than needed for hauling down from 120 mph. And the tires were just the stickiest that would fit into the wheel wells without rubbing. Then the car was a little not-tight on rough surfaces and a bit wishy-washy rolly-polly in a drift so I putzed with the suspension a lot. Then it was pretty much OK for a few more years until I bought the Supra (which was pretty good right out of the box). > > He also took a Pontiac Fiero and made it RHD.

My dad had nothing to do with it. I gave him a ride in my '56 chevy a couple of times (it had a really rough idle) but he wasn't into cars that idled rough and blew raspberries when the secondaries opened. And he borrowed it once but the spring loaded shifter and the stiff clutch pedal annoyed him so he never axed again. -- Grizzly H.
