The reason, shorter pipe runs which delivers the engine's oomph for short distances. Kaya very ideal use for drag racing. Had it installed in my lancer '78 (nuon yun when I still had the car and had it mod for drag use). Pero twas a bitch for long drives. One time I had trip to Baguio, di makatulog pasahero ko sa ingay, tapos walang powerband along the 110+ kph runs. you just have to floor the accelerator to feel the speed climbing up oh so slowly.
That time, di pa uso turbo. Those that had it were the super rich. But hey, any fully setup dragster wanted to race a turbo guy, kasi by the time nagkick in yung turbo, around 1.5 car lengths na layo nung isa, malapit na sa finish line. Kaya that time turbo races were time races. Like SLEX tollgate to tollgate. (Nichols to Calamba). Sa mga non-turbo, respectable na yung 15 mins.
Setup ko that time was:
Engine = 4G33, big bore, high compression pistons, oversize piston rings (kinikil para maliit lang clearance). dual valve springs (you secondary galing sa toyota)
2 Weber 40 side draft, stock jets, with torotot, no air filters.
CAM 2 racing cams
Port and polished exhaust and intake manifolds.
4:1 nodalos exhaust (scab).
Short throw 4 speed transmission.
pero lakas lumamon ng gas. 7 km/ltr.
Sorry for ranting on and on, was just reliving history. hahahaha!
