Pops Fun Blown with 623rwhp
94 GT Laser Red Vert.(1 of 269)

I got some numbers from.... Thrdgenreg@aol.comI'm curious about the 1 of 269 reference. If that is the production run for the Laser Red '94 vert then my Laser Red '94 vert with the white interior must be 1 of a very small number. Where does one find these production numbers?
He had a 331 in it that made 400 some odd and I don't remember why but he put a 302 back im w the AFR'sKeep in mind not everyone shoots for the stars either. If it's pace car the owner may consider it rare and precious. Pace cars usually aren't my thing, but those numbers should still provide a pretty quick car while keeping it reliable. He really may not want to get into completely modifying the whole thing.
Only thing that is kinda weird about the whole thing is that since it's a cobra with a cobra top end he could have just added the supercharger and got the same the numbers, would have required a couple more pounds of boost, but that's about it.

I've often wondered about such a setup. Having some 450-500+ft lbs tq@low rpm would be a handful on the street. Especially on a high speed rated tire in a typical mustang rear suspension. Heck my nearly stock powered car used to get squirrely not alone with an extra 200+ ft lbs.While I don't know the details, a NA 400hp 331 may not have been the most street friendly setup. I bet the aspirated 302 is a little easier to drive off idle.
I like NA engines as for I believe they are more reliable than supercharged pushrod setups, nothing forcing more air than the engine wants through it.
But I also believe it comes at a low end cost if you want big numbers.
I'm starting to believe a centrifical setup with a very mild cam at about 400rwhp may be one of the most driveable setups out there. People can make the argument for roots or screw blowers, and while my dohc sc engine may not be the same, big hp at low rpms makes is downright sketchy any time traction isn't excellent, for sure undriveable in the rain.
At least with a vortech you have to put your foot in it to get into the power.

I'm dreaming of such a setup. I'm 100 hp shy.While I don't know the details, a NA 400hp 331 may not have been the most street friendly setup. I bet the aspirated 302 is a little easier to drive off idle.
