ECU5.0 said:it isnt that hard, 25thmustang proved that to us with his 12.63 second run on a 302 with cobra intake, gears, and pullies.
89MustangGX said:Ehh...it's not quite like that. There's alot more work in there that really helps -- you wouldn't go out and just bolt that stuff on and run those numbers.
ECU5.0 said:yeah i know, you also have to be able to drive it too. but stock suspension with intake, gears and pullies is pretty sweet for runnin those those times
autoXr1 said:One thing one has to remember is that, generally, in order for a naturally aspirated engine to increase it's power, it often needs to increase the RPM significantly. I've got a roadrace combo, which has a relatively wide powerband, but I'm pushing 7000RPM to reach maximum power. I can drive it on the street, however, it is a bit of work for the stop and go of daily street driving.
That said, be careful what you wish for. If you want a powerful street car, then build one...but naturally aspirated might not be the route you want to go. The money you would spend on a killer head-cam-intake combo might be better spent on a supercharger or turbocharger. There are a lot of "small" parts that need to be obtained besides the H/C/I, like roller rockers, lifters, pushrods, fasteners, etc. It all adds up quick. A SC or TC combo will likely give you the low end grunt you need for the street, whereas a NA combo will likely need some steep gears just to regain all the valuable low end you are likely to loose.
