    Just purchased nitto DR's have questions

    If i remember it was between 5000-5500 on a stock tach. Not power shifting but more of a speed shifting. That is what MPH i thought 2, but i was bogging going to 2nd. I think i was letting off in 1st when it was spinning so much then shifting to 2nd.

    How many cats came on the 89 5.0?

    5.0 ford racing crate engine

    I have one with the E 303, Cobra intake and 30 jects. I like the engine it definitely is an improvement over stock. If I had to do it all again i would not buy it. I would go with a short block, maybe stroker kit, AFR 165, Edelbrock or Trickflow Intake, and a Custom Cam. Ford should atleast put...

    Help me achieve 300RWHP

    I don't know if this matters or not but while on the dyno as he bumped up timing the HP and TQ went up as well. By lower the timing to 14 isin't that going to lower HP? If i do lower timing to 14 and run 87 octane how am I able to tell if it is detinating or not. I never experienced it before.

    Help me achieve 300RWHP

    I am not power shifting but am speeding shifting if that makes sense. I let off the gas for a split second or so and then shift. My best Mph that day was on a 14.90 run it was 100.51, so yeah hittin 101 would feel good as would a 13. It was my first time at the strip so alot of factors could...

    Help me achieve 300RWHP

    On that run it was 2.2. Torque peakes out at 4000. Horse power peaks out I think around 5200 - 5500. I can feel the power come in around 2500 and it pulls strong to 6000. I think i was shifting around 5500 each gear. I was running cars down on the top end. I would just spin coming off the line...

    Help me achieve 300RWHP

    Yup same setup. Many people have stated that with traction it should be 13's or 12's. I believe 13's definitely the 12's that would be awesome. Looking back on the 100mph pass and others I launched at around 1500 then hammered the gas. I should have feathered it more and i think i could have...

    Help me achieve 300RWHP

    I have a King Cobra clutch that is working fine it only has about 4000 miles on it and only 10 1/4 passes. I always run either Sunoco 93 or 94. It doesn't ping at all. So i guess i will leave the timing where it is. I don't want a custom chip yet as i plan on supercharging it within a year.

    Help me achieve 300RWHP

    A/F ratio help The car was dyno tuned by a good shop I think !?. He only wanted to advance timing to 16* because of the GT40X heads. I heard that they could handle more like 18 to 20. The fuel pressure he did not touch and i believe it is at 42 lbs. He stated by adjusting the FP it would make...
