I have just stumbled upon this forum by accident! I have owned my CRS since new and probably like some of you was unhappy with the performance, it wouldnt do over 120 mph!
I have spent the last seven years developing the motor after 8 blow ups it is now running reliably at 520 hp using the stock Ford eecIV emu, PMS piggyback controller, ported TFS heads, big cam and Vortech T trim supercharger @ 12lbs boost, been to the dyno many times!
I started out with the Powerdyne belt drive s/c but it snapped belts too often then tried the gear driven Powerdyne that kept ruining its bearings (they are junk), anyway the point is that i have tried most mods like a few others on this board, exhaust systems etc but it is a shame that i had not found you before, it probably could have saved me a fortune!
I still have a few niggles, one is the fuel tank supply being too small to supply enough fuel, no adequate baffling in the tank, ( i havn"t tried to get the tank out yet), difficult? Another is wheels and tyres, i have thrown away the old Avons and used the only half decent substitute that i could find, Kuhmos, but i think that big 15s may be the way to go, are they available for the peg drive? Steering undergeared but cant find a quick rack?
I probably have many other questions but cant think just now but would be interesting to share some experiences, i always carry a spare clutch cable in the boot etc etc!
