Dont know about that. But, this is obviously just good marketing. They pulled out all the stops for this power.Well, that's an 11R kit on a 306 with 11.0:1 compression and i'm not sure what a track max cam is or if it has the specs to clear, but my guess would be it doesn't.
Also has a carb.
If you are going to go that route, you might as well just build the new engine now from the ground up.
That's all I found for links on Trick Flows site.Got a link to the build? Especially interested in the cam specs and power peak. I'dwant peak power in the 5,300 range for a 5,800-6k shift point. This build with a 100-150 shot would be the perfect stock-ish combo. Easy to swap/rebuild short blocks affordably.
As to the rest of your post, when I blow Black Jack's 200k mi. short block, I want to optimize a top-end and that kind of output would be exceptional. I'm guessing this was probably milled to over 10:1 compression with maybe some flat top pistons.
TFS 11R 170s are looking pretty good to me. AFR 165s are always in the running, too.
My old AFR165 combo with an Ed Curtis special (224/228, 111LSA, .555/.560) and a lightly ported lower Cobra made ~320 and trapped 111-112 mph in a 3150 lbs car. I might just replicate that build.
So 10% off 438 hp is 388.8 hp. That's not so great. That's only 44 hp over mine at 345. The supercharger is looking better and better.Dont know about that. But, this is obviously just good marketing. They pulled out all the stops for this power.
The 53cc heads are probably milled too to boost the compression to 11:1. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they didn't run any accessories and got gross horsepower. Take 10% off for that.
I'll admit, though, the trackmax cam looks milder than I expected:
Was talking about the AFR 359 rwhp build. I think I've seen it before on Corral but don't remember who it was. Also, I'll bet it was a "happy" dyno.That's all I found for links on Trick Flows site.
You, most definitely, should not go chasing higher NA power. There's no bang for the buck, there.So 10% off 438 hp is 388.8 hp. That's not so great. That's only 44 hp over mine at 345. The supercharger is looking better and better.
Great point on the NA power chasing. I'm real happy with that Engine. You know how it goes in drag racing. You always want a little faster!You, most definitely, should not go chasing higher NA power. There's no bang for the buck, there.
You do not have the absolute perfect F.I. combo, but you'll pay many thousands for the 40 to 50 hp you might be able to glean NA. Bang is not worth the buck. Be proud of the combo you've chosen. It's really pretty awesome to be running low 12s, NA.
Seriously, drop a 100 -150 shot on there and you'll max out the reliability of the stock block. Or, 10-12 psi from a blower. 9-10 from a turbo. etc... etc
Good info! Wow that guy is fired up lol! Too much coffee!I'm going to leave this here. It's relevant and like this dude's videos. He dynos [every-thing]. lol
Search his channel for some other 5oh stuff too. He's got a cam comparison video in there somewhere.Good info! Wow that guy is fired up lol! Too much coffee!
Uh... yeah, that's awesome. You probably won't need an intercooler at that level, though I would personally still do one.Great point on the NA power chasing. I'm real happy with that Engine. You know how it goes in drag racing. You always want a little faster!
What do you think of the Vortech V-3 SCi ? They used it on an engine combo similar to mine and gained 96 rear wheel horsepower at 6 psi of boost. Thats a decent gain. Here's the article. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/m...i-supercharger-mustang-5l-engine-kit-upgrade/
To answer your earlier question, that is flywheel HP in that graph.Hear we go. I just found this.
I vote supercharger. Best bang for the buck to pick up power on a 5.0. I bolted on a V3 setup and brought my trap speed from 95 to 115mph...
Seems to be about right. Car and Driver back in the day tested these at 14.7 @96mph. I'm also a little heavier carrying a hardtop around so seems to be spot on.Stock, your Cobra only trapped at 95? Isn't that a lil slow for that car?
I agree supercharger for best bang for the buck.I've been running an old school S-Trim for years on my stockish 306. E-cam, stock E7 heads, 1.6 RR's, typhon intake, shorty headers, etc. Made like 396 rwhp at 10psi. It's just a street car so have no idea what it would do at the track.
