Need help with my s/c setup

fast shelby · Nov 30, 2005

So far what I have is a 92 5.0 with a T trim running 12psi. I have the following parts added:
255 in tank with a trex pump still using the Vortech's FMU
BBK 65mm TB
C&L 73 mm MAF
Anderson powerpipe
24lb injectors
MSD 6 BTM
Hooker Super Comp 1 5/8 shorty's with Borla exhaust
Has a stock AOD
I have made 286 hp at the rear wheels but want more but I want to leave the h/c/i stock until I build my 331 later.
What should I change and what power might I be looking at?
TIA

Not much else you can change besides your heads cam and intake

Daniel50 · Nov 30, 2005

the aod is killing you. do you have cats? bigger injectors maybe?

fast shelby · Nov 30, 2005

I have a BBK cats. I have 36 lb injectors and sampling tube for the MAF I want to install but I am awaiting the funds to get a PMS

Have Thumper or TMOSS work your heads and intake over. Leave your cam alone for now. Invest in some 42 lb injectors and a TwEECer or PMS (you can use these later to tune your new motor as well). Consider swapping your 65mm TB out for a 70 or 75mm (this will also be useful for the new motor). Those few changes and a good tune will get you well over the 300 RW mark. You may even find that the custom tune will allow you up the boost a couple of pounds. Having total control over injector pulse width and spark advance through the power range can work wonders.

Edit: A good stall converter and shift kit will help as well.

:Track: AOD's are the best for drag racing!!!

fast shelby · Nov 30, 2005

I have had a little work done to the AOD (Shift kit installed) The tranny is on its way out,(when it warms up it will not go into reverse unless you rev it) I brought the car to the track numerous times but could only muster a 12.56 at 112. I was running D/R at the time
Forgot to mention i have 3:73 with a True trac in the rear

$uperstang · Nov 30, 2005

Get the tranny re-built and get yourself a 2800- 3200 stall from Andre (he'l know what's best for your set-up) at Edge Racing and watch the sucker fly!!!

You should be very happy with that time with 286rwhp. that is GREAT

ya thats a good time for you hp. you could do methanol/distilled water injection. or an intercooler. either way your boost temps will be lower for more power. can get 50+ hp from either

QDRHRSE · Nov 30, 2005

A T Trim is a big blower. That HP seems low, even for a stock motor. There is 30-40 hp missing. It's probably a tuning issue. You may be running too conservative.

Have you had it tuned? My set up is very simaler to yours and I'm making 350@ the wheels. Man tranny though. I don't know how much diiference that makes. All stock motor internally. Only bolt on. Factory headers too.
