[quote=PS we don't have anything in the 3tc yet, as we're deciding now whether to run that, the 3s, or the 2/3rz in Starlet. [/quote]

Put a head off a 2T-C on the 3T-C block. Basically you're putting a 1.6L head on a 1.8L block. Sorta like putting a B16 (1.6L VTEC head) onto a B18 (1.8L NON-VTEC block) for hondas. You get hi compression outta that easy!

I hate to say it, but NOS is the cheapest hp you're going to get. a 50 shot should be less than $600 installed (at least around here). Stay away from dry systems unless you are very familiar with Nos and set-up. Both are dangerous to the motor if something goes wrong, but you are less likely to go lean and detonate in a wet system. Just my experience.
