]I made 396/424 on junk parts.
Had a fun day on the dyno, with a lot of great guys hanging around.

The video is one where the clutch "broke"(got stiff where it stayed engaged) we had to adjust it out. Only video I took. :(

Justin at J&J in Fort Myers is the man. I have seen him tune some other great rides. Built many mustangs that have been in magazines, and sub 9 seconds cars and under. One of the first 7 second True Street Mustangs as well. As well as many great LSX cars.

what is your setup?

331(Stock Block)
AFR 165 heads( Picked up for $800 fully assembled)
Ford X Cam
Typhoon Intake(picked up really cheap)
Powerdyne Supercharger( Picked up really cheap a number of years ago) Running 7PSI.
Shorties, Off Road H, Flow Masters. All other supporting mods.
Anderson Meth.

IMO, mostly cheap(price wise) junk parts(good parts that work good) that made a decent number.
The heads and the blower are holding me back. One or the other upgrades would yield much better numbers.
A potential high 10 second car, with great suspension parts and good driver will be needed.

your shopping is how i shop for everything, minus clothes.

Great numbers dont get greedy just enjoy the car make appearance for suspension mods. IMO
 
Nice...i'm hoping to get close to that HP number all motor but i think i'm gonna fall a little short, and definitely won't hit that torque but we'll see.
Did you get a new motor? I remember you picking up the 347 for a good price a few years back.

When a good deal comes my way I can't pass it up!

I have some suspension mods and it hooks up pretty well right now. Just looking for a mid 11 car the way it sits. I am in no rush, just going to enjoy the car.
yeah that's plenty of get up and go for a street car

Thank you! It should be fun. :D

Still the same 347 but i'm swapping to a Victor Jr intake and custom carb. If the duel plane is holding me back like a lot of people said it is, and the custom carb is as superior as the maker says it is (lol) then hopefully i'll see some gains. I only need 38hp to reach 400rwhp. I don't think i'll make it but it should pick up something.

That is a big jump for a carb. Hey, anything is possible! I wish you luck! The intake and carb should get you pretty close. I want to know what you end up making. :D
 
Well, the carb i just wanted because mine is getting old and needs gone through anyways, and this one is super trick. The intake, i figure my engine makes all its power on the top end right now anyways, and with the big cam it should complement it better than the duel plane intake does. If anything i'm thinking maybe 10rwhp gain.
 
No slipping and the internal belt never broke. Not saying it cant but it didn't for me.
I am scared of breaking the internal belt. I will not lie.
I wouldn't worry about the heads...165's are good heads.

Throw an S-trim on there for a quick 50 rwhp gain.

That is what my tuner said. 10 psi out of any other blower should yield another 100hp.
