    Calculating HP

    That formula is quite general. It is assuming alot of different aspects! Probably get you in the ballpark though. I used Desktop Dyno Software to guestimate and even then I would only trust it within 15%. I like to use the formula (money spent)/5=rwhp :)

    I made 500rwhp!!

    It is a unique setup which is why I am N/A for now. I have tuned before but this was the first time I set it all up from the ground up. The ECU is a Vipec V44, ViPEC Engine Management - Main Page, and once I got a base setup on the tune was very easy. Especially once I got it on a load dyno...

    Maybe check your base timing then clean you MAF while you are at it.

    I made 500rwhp!!

    The weak point of the whole combo is the block. Pulled from a late 70's f150 it is a 351w block. Scat 9000 stroker crank (408w), eagle h-beam rods, slightly ported victor jr. heads, xtreme energy retro fit hydraulic roller cam (custom grind to have have a bit more duration), comp roller...

    I made 500rwhp!!

    Finally got my car weighed and tuned. I have had a safe tune for breakin which was running rich with very slack timing. After tuning I have all the information I need and I am ready for the track! Weight(with my heavy 220lb ass in the car and 1/2 tank of fuel): 3407 with 52.1% front...

    351 Windsor Help!

    If the car has a 351w plumbed through some single exhaust and 20" rims. I would avoid it in the first place. Who knows what the hell ghettoness took place on the swap with the car. What could have taken place "oh, **** I need some assembly lube for these bearings or some ****. Oh I will...

    351 Windsor Help!

    So if you are trying to see if it is a 351 or a 302 block. I believe there are some differences around where the alternator is for easy identification due to the block height difference. If it was me I would probably look at the intake manifold. There should be a part number and the 302 and...

    The last issue!

    Getting rid of the abs and putting the stainless line in to the calipers and the diff made the brakes feel alot nicer. I was worried about the no power steering but I did it and I am happy with it. I also have 275's up front and it is tough to park in tight spots but as soon as you are...

    The last issue!

    Alum heads, no power steering, no abs, MM k-member, MM arms, coil overs, no heater no radio, race seats, no back seat, and the wiring. I tore every wire out and put a custom harness in. Just wires was about 35 pounds! It probably weight a fifth of that now. I was suprised with the weight...

    The last issue!

    Got the mustang on the road this week! Had a problem with my fan relay, but this has been resolved. Only one major issue. The clutch was tough to disengage so I limped it back home and found the stock clutch cable cratered. Completely seized. Replaced the cable but it was still tough. I...

    VSS POLARITY

    All I need is someone to say "when looking at the back of the sensor with the pins at the top. The left one is ____ color and the other one on the right is ____ color" I can test it on an oscilloscope when I get home but this would save me some time.

    VSS POLARITY

    So on my current harness i have my VSS input signal hanging by my transmission. I don't have a plug for my vss sensor and was going to solder/shrinkwrap/dielectric harderner to fill it. Then on the wires to use a weatherpack connector. I have done this lots before and never had a problem. My...

    Video of my engine breaking in

    Just finished everything on the car. It is road worthy! This is the break in of the engine just taking it through a heat cycle and then an oil change. The audio from my camera makes it sound like something is kind of wrong but it sounded very healthy in person. I will post a video once I get...
