The 2.3l Ford Pinto.... Journey to 9.79 at 137mp on 4 cylinders ;)

[Toma]

Old school 8 valve technology (2 valves per cylinder).,
Built bottom end, 2.3l
Automatic.
Haltech ECU tuned by some guy ;)


Finally, all Dario's hard work paid of, when today in Edmonton, he ran a 9.8 and followed it up with a 9.79@137mph.

I thought they were different some how? Is all that is different is the intake manifold, valve cover, and cam? Not that hes using any of those stock parts except for the valve cover:D
