Keep the stock suspension. It's nice and soft and will transfer torque to the rearend pretty well. Use a set of underinflated drag radials. I've seen tires make up a full second in the 1/4.
Oh and as far as torque goes....I just drove my buddies big block Chevelle. 4 banger torque is just that...banger torque. The KA's torque isn't all that more impressive anyway. My main reason for being objective was the KA is already in the car. If I were to swap in a motor, it would be a 302 from a Rustang.

Re: (WDRacing)
The great thing about an open public forum is that people can state their opinions and have them challenged or supported by others untill the truth is found. Personal experience can be a great thing but it can also be quite missleading. Wrong conclusions are often drawn, incorrect assumptions are offen made and false causes are often identified. The automotive community is rife with fallacious lodgic, assumptions and self proclaimed experts. Keep in mind that while a chicken has more experience with laying eggs, the farmer understands a lot more about the process. So, having done something and gotten "X" result doesn't mean one understands what happened or knows the cause.WDRacing wrote:It's my job to make sure things flow well and that some new guy to turbo's doesn't smoke his KA because he saw something on here and took it for gospel.
Bottom line, the best antidote for a bad input is more input. Clearly, these forums need to be moderated to ensure a open and productive dialogue. Things like nastyness, personal attacks and disruptive behavior should not be tolerated. But, it would defeat the purpose of the forum to have one person censor all discussions based on their personal opinion of what information is good or bad, or right or wrong. Especially since nobdy here has the knowledge to do so.
This forum should remain a place for open discourse and debate. People who read it understand this and will ultimatly decide what advise they chose to follow. It is nobody's job to protect readers of an open forum from the possibility of believing bad information. An attempt to do so would be destructive to the forum and would limit all ideas and information to that which is known by the individule controlling the discourse.
Not to mention the fact that that person just might not know as much as he thinks he does.
So, I suggest that things be kept civil by our moderators and the market place of ideas left to sort the good ideas from the bad ones.
Re: (Edub1)
Sorry for the bump but I'd like to add one more thing.
I often hear a lot of talk about knowledge learned by "having tried something" or similar reasoning. This is called anecdotal evidence and it's not trustworthy.
In order for something to be scientific, certain guidlines must be strictly adheared to. This is known as "scientific method."
I'm not going to sit here and go into detail but some of the things that must be done to consider something a proper experiment include isolating a single variable, which is something guys here almost always overlook. It also includes repeating the experiment a number of times and exhausting the possibility of alternative explainations.
Read the post "you can be too rich" to learn about common misconceptions regarding A/F ratios and "charge cooling." You will see that just because rich A/F ratios "work" it doesn't mean what you think it does.
I know everyone here has heard someone claim that one part is better than another based on the results of those parts being installed on two different cars. In reality, you would have to try each part on each car, under the exact same conditions, with at least 3 trials each to consider it a valid test.
So please, before you say you know something is so because you or Billy Joe or Skeeter "seen it or done it" Google scientific method and read up a bit.
Besides that, it's just a good thing to know in life.
