Joe, are the specs available on the Protege motors that you guys build? HP, TQ, etc. Are they based on the FS-DE or FS-ZE motors?

But yes the engines run about $17,000. They make about double the HP that they do stock. We have Espenlaub's car at the shop waiting to go off to the bodyshop. I still can't seem to talk them into a rip up the street in it. I may have some other info concerning cheap used parts but I can't say any more than that. And no Trav doesn't know either. LOL I can be bought though.

Now where would I get to if I gave those numbers out? Unemployment line...... LOL
Here shortly, we may be bringing two or three GM quad-4s to you guys for a freshening...about 20 hrs each on them. I've heard nothing but good words about you guys' work.

Q4s!! those fit in my Fiero nicley! and i've delt with 2 turbo Q4s making over 220hp at the ground at 10psi!
The three we have were used in a (now retired) world challenge Olds Calais. I think they were dynoed at 230 at the crank. I can't remember the name of the guy who originally built these engines to save me (he's dead now anyway).

not too bad it's a 60 second course.. i've got -ROCKHARD tires on 18s and inexperiance and pulled a 61, Joe with decent tires and plenty of experiance pulled in a MUCH BETTER 57 second time in his Focus. and was able to help a friend of ours drive their Porshce 993 from a 68 down to a 62!! thats a HUGE gain! there is another run dec 1st.. i'll be there.. and hopefully with less bouncy front end, the mid engine makes for fun slides but it's a handful!

I turned out a low 62 (2/10's out of second place in HS). I didn't expect much better from an 88HP automatic slug, heh.
Damn it was cold! (about 45 with a constant 15-25mph wind). It was hard to get any traction with such temps.
I won't be able to make it to the Dec. 1st event, but I'll be there for Dec. 15th. If I don't get a Mazda powered Escort by then, I'll be co-driving an older SI.
