MAJOR power falloff around 5k rpms

Is this normal? I noticed when I go to the track I can feel the power loss around 5k, but she still has run a best of 9.7 in the 1/8th mile with just a K&N filter, off road H and 40 series?

Is this just normal due to the restrictive intake, or might there be something else at fault here. I'm thinking I might need to have the MAF cleaned.

I guess it's not bad for a car that just turned 204k miles on the stock, non-rebuilt engine

Replaced your fuel filter lately? Power should just be coming on hard @ 3k RPMs.

Sorry about that was a typo/ blonde moment. I meant 5000 rpms is when the falloff starts to come for me. I know it naturally falls off that high but this seems worse then normal.

Before my cobra intake mine felt like it choked at 4500. The cam fallls on it's face after 5200. Have you changed your fuel filter? How do the plugs look?

Car just had a complete tune up here awhile back, so everything should be good.

Wytstang I'm thinking it may just be in my head, and in that case it's time for a H/C/I right?

wytstang · Dec 19, 2004

Yes it's timeto do your homework on what combo fits your needs . Remember every man wants to be blown and stroked.

5.0_GT_kid · Dec 19, 2004

I want to do a 306 with AFR 165 heads, edelbrock performer or Trick Flow street heat intake and a custom cam made to fit that combo.

wytstang · Dec 19, 2004

That would be a nice combo. You should start now researching EVERYTHING. The combos are endless and everyone is an expert on what works best. But if your going custom let the pro cutting the cam suggest what heads and intake would work best for your combo.

Already done, the Mustang club i'm the co-founder of got a deal worked out with Blue Oval Corral here where we provide them with advertising and word of mouth and they give us great prices

Anyways they cut custom cams and Chad, the guy who runs Blue Oval, we've talked about the combo and he says I'm on the right track.

wytstang · Dec 19, 2004

What's Chads last name is it hicks?

5.0_GT_kid · Dec 19, 2004

Don't know off hand. I just know he runs blue oval and he has a few mustang drag cars

wytstang · Dec 19, 2004

When I worked at a ford dealer ship a while back I worked with a friend named Chad Hicks who now works at blue oval corral in clear water. He has a 93 blue fox that runs 9.30 in the 1/4 last I heard. Chad is a great guy and really knows mustangs if this is the same chad take his advice and run with it he will not steer you wrong. If you can find out if this is the same chad please let me know that way I can get a custom cam from him at crack head prices .

Blue oval corral guys are on the ball. They hooked me up and fixed my stang when no one else could figure it out. Jeff and Chad are both good guys.

What is that name of your club?

5.0_GT_kid · Dec 19, 2004

WytStang it must be the same Chad, and yes he knows his stuff really well and I know he has a couple stangs. I also remember him mentioning working at a Ford Dealership. He even registered on our club's forums and helps give out tech advice and stuff, he is an awesome guy and a great help, even offering a xmas special on Diablo predator tuners.

Outmama when I moved to Florida I met a kid who had all his work done at Blue Oval, and they did great work everytime.

For both of you the club is Tampa Bay Mustangs, the website is www.tbmustangs.com and you can go ahead and check out everything. We are in the process of converting the forums to the same program Stangnet uses and we are planning to renovate the website itself, so the site itself is somewhat empty.

BTW Chad is registered as N8secMustang on our forums

Wytstang the phone number to Blue Oval is 727-571-1996, and I'm about 100% certain that's the same chad.

5.0_GT_kid · Dec 19, 2004

Here you go WytStang this is a post I made on my club's forums and you can see where Chad replied...93 Mustang right there

That's him I remember him say he made a 10 sec pass before but mostly 11's is what the car ran. Last time I talked to him was at Fun ford weekend last year or the year before. By the way I went ahead and registered.

5.0_GT_kid · Dec 19, 2004

Sweet man I saw you joined up

BTW did you get the confirmation email that gets sent out? We've had some trouble with certain people not receiving them.

wytstang · Dec 19, 2004

No not yet.

5.0_GT_kid · Dec 19, 2004

Ok well let me know if you get it.
