the car weighs 2925lbs with me in it352Ford2 said:How much does your car weigh?
Well with your 125 mph trap time and with weight of 3200lb's with you in it, its probibly around 400 RWHP and prob around 475 at the FW
how many RPM's are you turning? People talk about power breaking blocks, but it is the coming together of many varibles that make a block split, and RPM is a huge one.
It has an expontial effect
yes sir! i hope to see some of you there and put a face with the names!68torinogt said:you still goin to ennis this weekend?
i hope you go faster too! ! Are you going to make it to any fun ford events? Man i really need to get my driving under control. I guess i just need some seat time. Im trying to figure out why the car trapt so high86bluecobra said:btw nice time way to go. I hope i can beat that time in a couple weeks when i go to the track. I doubt i'll get close to the mph though.
ill be there in the car show, i have a torino and a white lxModular2v said:yes sir! i hope to see some of you there and put a face with the names!
Modular2v said:funny you say that because i just ordered a pair of 28x10.5 m/t et drags!!!! So you think think that stock block will really be ok or were just laughing because u agreed with me?
Yeah a victor jr is working its way into the budget! I think the car is going to pick up about 4 tenths once i learn how to drive the thing on the bottlebluevenom867 said:Na,I think the block should hold up for awhile.
Just keep an eye on things,check for loose bolts and nuts,keep good oil in it and change it when its do.Check out the rockers and pushrods occasionaly,even though your runing a hyd. roller.Check out the balancer and pulleys,if you get any wobbles,fix them.
If it makes you feel better about it I know a guy that raced in FFW spring break shoot out about a year back,and he was runing a 347 Mexican block,and spraying a 400hp shot on a plate.They were having alot of problems else were,but the block has held up.
One thing I think you should consider is going to a single plain intake,you would really pick up some mph and et.
what car will u be showing?68torinogt said:ill be there in the car show, i have a torino and a white lx
im going to try to show both but i dont know if i will have the mustang readyModular2v said:what car will u be showing?
Modular2v said:Yeah a victor jr is working its way into the budget! I think the car is going to pick up about 4 tenths once i learn how to drive the thing on the bottlei change the oil in the car about every 500 miles since i dont do much driving with it
HAHA that would be awesome! Possible but not probable! lol. If you dont mind my asking, what color blue is your car? do you have the paint code?86bluecobra said:I wish i Could make a ford fun weekend. I read about them all the time but since i live in the west part of canada its hard to get to one. Good Luck with you there maybe I'll be reading about your win in the 5.0L mags.
Did you pull the front tires? how far off the ground. I want to go and get strange struts and shocks for my car and maybe a set of drag springs to see what i could really do with some suspension mods. Oh did you launch on the juice?Modular2v said:yeah i already need a cage. . . (as last friday proved) its the g force trans with the 2.95. . . NAH , no wheelie bars! i like the front end hanging in the sky!!!
i pull the tires all motor. . . i did not pull them on the juice! i cant launch on the juice,well i can but, the rev limiter is set at 6200 rpms and the window switch is set to activation range of 3000-6000 rpm with a full throttle switch. so as you can see i really need a 2 step to launch on the sauce. Although i wonder if i launched off the rev limiter, do you think it would bounce back below the 6000 mark activating the nitrous?86bluecobra said:Did you pull the front tires? how far off the ground.
