tehnick said:I regret not getting a GT, but in the long run I save on insurance for right now. In the future I will probably get one, or just build this car up a bit for a fun DD. I don't really crave a ton of power and would be stoked with around 300-350HP to the wheels. Not sure which avenue I will go to add more power. Then again, I am not sure if any shops have any experience doing build ups on a 3.8L V6 as well as tuning them. I know a guy on the east coast that does e-tunes and know his stuff when it comes to the V6 Mustangs, but Florida is a bit far away if something goes wrong and I can't rely on playing e-mail tag while my car sits in my parking spot at my apartment complex trying to figure it out.
Would be nice to build a turbo kit, because I can score a pre-made kit for $3,500 but then I still need to invest in fuel upgrades and other stuff to complete it which will drive the cost up considerably. Ugh, I have no money right now either trying to keep my bills paid
loud 95 said:Doesn't Ray's current engine make 700 horses on motor? You guys sprayed to hit the 8.88, right? I'm not trying to pick things apart, just trying to remember.
Who was busted?Jon said:Busted!
Jon said:We're not using the metric system for ratings here big guy.
AllFordPerf said:Rays motor made 714 std hp at the wheels through the powerglide on the 175 shot and in the 575 range all motor.
Jon said:Fuel system would set you back about $500 for pump, meter, and injectors.
loud 95 said:Cool. So it was more like 900hp (crank) that went 8.88's in Ray's car.
AllFordPerf said:On the engine dyno the motor made 858 at the crank and the same tune was in the 575 range at the wheels. The glide and converter soak up a lot. For comparison wallys 514 made 852 on the engine dyno and 630 to the wheels with a C-4 and a tighter converter.
loud 95 said:Thanks. I'm definitely getting rusty on my conversion factors.
AllFordPerf said:Dyno numbers for autos are deceptive.
TurboSnake95 said:Is there a way to truly correct for this, or is it just pretty much a shot in the dark?
gospeedgo said:Allen would probably be willing to make you a deal on some Cobra fuel system soon
ASD said:Bill should of bought wheels instead but I know you guys have other plans for him.
gospeedgo said:Who was busted?
As far as the dyno sheet goes, Bill has it- and I am quite sure he doesnt have a scanner. But it was out for everyone to see at the show. I am sure Rrev still has it (unless you guys deleted OURS too) and they are more than welcome to post it up! I know how they love to get involved in our battles
Tim, if your out there post it up!
Jon said:What ever Ray's made it pulled like a bandit! 200mph on the dyno was pretty sweet that day. Pray for no rain when we all wake up 'cause I want to see that thing with the fogger spraying full tilt!!!!!
Hopefully see you guys in the morning!
