Malkom, to answer your last question first, because I can, because no one has done it before, because the MS-75 2-door looks relatively good (relative to the 4 door) and because the car is pretty heavy.
I haven't bothered with forgies because the level of metallurgical advancement used in modern engines is so good that late model stock pistons are commony capable of massive boost with no troubles.
The CR is 9:1, giving good response off boost, and still capable of dealing with reasonable boost without a comp drop (using good fuel of course) I know of a certain Landcrusher running 22 psi without a comp drop.
I'm not really chasing a massive power number, but more a huge torque reading. My friends 250 turbo cortina runs 11 psi, makes 150 rwkw, redlines at 4800-but runs 12.1 sec 1/4.
I wont quote a number, as I honestly have no idea how it will respond to the turbo-but I'm guessing pretty good at this stage.
Cheers
Sean
