Ordered the last few mods:)
 
We ordered the final performance mods for Dale this week. We ordered 1.8/1.85 split ratio rockers and a 3.4 mps. We went with the split ratio rockers instead of the 1.9 modified rockers because I didn't want to have to worry about doing springs. I like to do things right and didn't have the cash for springs. If I did the 1.9's and no springs I would worry constantly about a spring breaking a dropping a valve.

At the same time I also plan on installing autolite 104's and a new fuel filter. These mods should give us a nice 300 +/- horsepower which is plenty for me:D.

Does anyone know of a decent yet affordable dyno in northern new england? The 2 I know of are good but one charges $500 and the other over $1000, and if I had that kind of cash (which I don't) I'd drive to zzp and have them do it, lol

Make sure your PCM isn't set to shift over 5900RPM if you aren't doing springs.

Congrats on the purchases :)

Thank you. I'm not sure what the shift points are, what ever the zzp 1.0 pcm brings it to. I'll have to do a few WOT runs and see what its at, before I add the rockers

Congrats! You're going to have fun once you get the rockers and pulley installed. I can't remember either what the shift points are on the ZZP PCM, but I would imagine that they wouldn't put it over 6000rpm. But like mentioned already, don't go any higher then that. Valve float is no fun.

Thank you everyone. Its been a year in the making. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out

I received the Rockers and pulley puller today:D. The rocker bolts and pulley should be here tomorrow and I'll install everything Friday night or Saturday.

When I drove the car today I did a few WOT runs to see the shift points and it always shifts right around or before 5900 RPMS at WOT so I'm in the clear:D

I just had a question, do I gap the 104's to manufacture specs or is there a preferred gap for cooler plugs?

2003supersport 10-19-2010 01:02 AM

i did the 1.9's and shifts around 6100 rpm at WOT, been fine for over a year. zzp recommends nothing about 6200 rpm without changing the springs. grats on the mods, should pull great for you!
