Default Re: Competetive 4-cylinders in Comp?

Tim Kish, Larry Dowty, and myself run (or have run) FWD cars in SS/GS. We have different approches to the goal. Larry ran a Quad 4 engine and a manual trans. Tim runs a 120 inch neon engine and an auto trans. I run a 150 SRT4 block and an auto trans. All 4 valve heads.
All of us have run 13.0's or better. At 18 pounds per inch. And each of us has got the index hit.
These 4 cylinders make a lot of power. But I'm not sure you can get a car light enough to run 12 pounds per inch.
And expect to get an awful lot of hand made "one of's". And they aren't cheap.
In superstock with the breakout I'm sure you can build a competive car, but in comp it might be another thing.
One big problem is final drive (gear) ratio. Most factory final drives are in the low three's. And this makes for a major problem
Welcome to the 4 cylinder world.
