Pulleys got put in today :D

[StangLou]

Underdrive pulleys went on today . Cant say I feel much below 3000rpm since the gears makes it rev so quickly, but once it passes 4000 I can feel some nice sotp gains. No dyno done today since the shop was swamped . Maybe Sat if things clear out for them some . Im hoping for 250+ at the wheels since my last dyno Think its feasible?
Im hoping the L/T's and mid pipe I put on around late March should put me 275 or so, then the TB and Plenum swap, and finally a good tune should put me at the magic 300rwhp mark

Probable ? IMO no.

Possible ?

What pullies did you get ? I don't remember noticing anything other than my dash lights were more dim, and my belt spun faster.

300 rwhp while being N/A is pretty tough to do i'd think...you might have more luck getting a stroker kit or something...

 

[68 & 00 GT]

yeah guys w/ head work,and cams are running like 317 RWHP
see this sig I copied, and pasted from a pm I got -

Thanks

Here are my power mods:

Power Mods:
P&P heads with Modmax valves/springs
Comp Cams
P&P Bullitt intake
Pro-M 80mm MAF
Morpheus HP pipe
Hooker long tubes
Hooker X pipe
Dynomax Bullet mufflers dumped
Steeda pullies
Fordchip tune

Not saying it's not possible. Just saying may not be that easy.

300rwhp n/a isn't that difficult. As long as you piece it together right, I could see it being possible to have around 320-330rwhp with the right mix of mods. Without a stroker. Mind you though, if you ever wanted a blower or something of that sort, you'll have to keep that in mind if you ever get new pistons. (ie: compression)

Yeah it's not difficut at all but w/ more than the usual bolt on's. You mentioned pistons - Little more to all that.
Hell just add some VT engine wild N/A cams while you're at it.

I noticed nothing too... Until the belt started to squeal 10 minutes after I started the car.

They are Steeda Underdrive Pulleys, I had ASP's on my 5.0 and wasnt to impressed with them. I didnt notice a thing about dimmer lights or anything last night
As for the 300hp mark, I think its feasible . Besides, everyone needs a goal with their car, and everyone saying I cant do it makes me more motivated

I meant slower -

Good luck. 300 RWHP N/A is very feasible. Never said it wasn't. Just plan on much more expensive / bigger mods to get it is all.

nice choice on the pulleys (brand wise) the mac pulleys are crap. They came apart on me and I've got an engine tick as a result

I put the steeda set on along with the timing adjuster just cause i was already going to be down there so what the hell. BIG gains from that. Throw a T/A on there and you'll be good to go.

I made that statement with the assumption that they would have pretty much everything. Cams, head work, etc. Although, I don't think higher compression is needed to attain 320-330. I could be wrong, though. But, I just mentioned it, just incase. I still think it's possible without a stroker.

I am trying the new March pulleys, they are aluminum and now have the SFI crank dampner. #MAR-1175, I think

 

[BullittStangV8]

j/w how much do the dyno runs cost you? crazy horse industries is near me and changes $75 with a A/f monitoring included..

[68 & 00 GT]

how much w/o a/f monitoring ? Probably not necessary, unless you plan to have them tune it anyway which is much more $.

I'll donate my BBK's U/D pullies for someone to get dynos of before and after w/ them for everyone. If anyones interested. I have to put my stockers back on for an upcomming blower.

Maybe 03TrueblueGT will do it ! He's not far from me, and is always good for dyno results !

 

[StangLou]

I think my shop charges like $120 for 3 pulls with a/f included. I would love to dyno every mod I do, but its just not feasible price wise for me .
I might get it done Sat though, just to get a basline before my L/T's and midpipe go on. It wont be a fair dyno though since I never had it dyno'd after my chip got put in either, and I got a program burned to massively bump timing. Took me 3 burns to get all the sparkknocking out lol.
I did notice that everything seems quieter than it previously did. Unless I really open up the throttle, I dont hear all the extra engine noise I used to from the accessories... a BIG plus .
