Just getting some ideas. I'm about to put my h/c/i combo on the motor soon, just wondering how it will run down the 1/4, and maybe est hp #'s. It's Windsor jr's that have had been ported and 2.02/ 1.60's , E303, 1.6rr, explorer upper and ported lower to match heads. The car also has a9l, 70mm tb and spacer, cai cobra mass air 24#inj, 195lph in tank and bbk regulator. u/d pulleys long tubes and a 3.73 rear. upper and lower control arms, sub frames, comp engineering 3 way adjustable rear shocks 4cyl springs, lakewood 90/10 up front sorry about the novel just curious , thanks for any info .

I'm pretty sure if you are running an a9l you should not be using a cobra meter.
Even if for some reason it works, it's worthless as a performance mod.
Normally i'd say get a pmas meter, but my buddy who owns a shop has told me they stopped returning or taking calls months back.
So at this point he's using DBX meters on his cars.

Ported windsor jr's are unpredictable for a hp estimate, they aren't that widely used and they are ported.
With that setup, anything above 275rwhp hp should make you fairly happy.
Quarter mile, i'd hope for mid 12's.

285 is at the wheels give or take... 1/4 mile times are way to unpredictable. What kinda tire,suspension, transmission, your abilities etc. Im running high 11's on a car with 510 rwhp. Should be a mid 10 sec car, but with me driving, street suspension, not gonna happen!

I'm hoping to be in the 12's on motor. Going to be spraying once I get used to the motor. Been away from cars for a while, been being responsible and being dad first. Thanks for the input.
