Thanks hiney hitter... Hey, my skillz are fine, it's the shitty equipment that sucks ass...Phone/camera. Thanks Ron...It's a poor mans paint job...I can't afford the custom stuff like you, but i can do some simple, effective visual mods too.
Thanks Nate, but mine are stock WITH tone rings, and fine for the street...If i go hooking this thing, i'll need to spend another 5 large on shafts and tranny...Just can't swing it. I'm fine with it being a street car.
No shit? See what happens when you're out the loop for a while...You have a source, or could you give me a break down of exactly what's needed so i can round it all up from my dealer.
Still running great Kyle? Our cams are very close... 224/228 .598" .578" 114 degree lobe separation My car should be finished Tuesday or Wednesday so you beat me by a few days You should go with the upgraded axles bro. I didn't have that option when I was looking so had to spend the $$$ for the DSS set-up. Now you have a perfect alternative at 1/6 the cost!!! btw, where's the vids? They have to be better than your pics
Haha...omg that's fuckin funny...NOT! Yea running realllllly good in this cold weather...I hurt a Roush Stangs feelings this morning. I saw him coming up behind me, so I slowed up and got over...dropped three gears and waited...he got next to me and began pacing me...i blipped the throttle to let him know I was ready. He hit it...I stuck it, broke traction (this is where driver input is needed) shifted to third and was putting bus lengths on him in a flash....got to a light, he was taking a right, gave me a thumb and was shaking his head. Dyno tuning starts tomorrow! I'll post results. Hopefully with a video. And yea, i need axels and DR's...just to maintain traction on the street...that'll be my next investments after tuning. 620 miles on it and counting.... How's your car running?
Bored here at work on Black Friday, so i decided to do a cell phone clip of my cars idle...idle speed is around 750 RPM...Sound quality sucks, but hey, sue me.
11.0 compression should give you fair bit of power over 10.3 compression strokers out there. Not much room for F/I, but you'll be running hard n/a. And you'll be needing some driveline improvements in a little while, depending on how you like to drive it.
Congrats Kyle, you have definately had a long journey glad to see you have ended up in a good place.. So whats the internals, Pistons, Rods, Crank
FA show! Thanks...just a little bit of tuning to address...it's pulling some timing at WOT, after discussing with Erik, and Steve, i believe some fuel is needed up top..but man, it pulls like hell now...I have tuning scheduled for Wed. True, as long as I don't get traction, i should be okay with the stock tranny...once i stick it, i'll give Eddie a call. At LEAST...what's so nice, is my local car wash has em for a buck...man, tthat's some badd ass hp/$$$ ratio. Thanks Al, and thanks for your concern...your PM prompted a call from Erik today...It's extremely nice to have others looking out for me and my motor...on that subject...when i was checking P to V clearance, i also checked coil bind...i'm good...thanks for the heads up bro! Internals are Compstar crank and rods, Mahle pistons...i see alot of 420ci, 4.065" Bore, 4.050" Stroke, 6.125" Rod and 423ci, 4.080" Bore, 4.050" Stroke, 6.125" Rod Length...not many true 426's...i'm one though
Update: Seems like a different car since I hit 750 miles. The tone changed again, the idle is up a little, and I can feel the car more in my ass and feet at idle. I've been running it some and it seems to like it. I need some shafts and DR's for sure. I can't wait to get it tuned. Holiday's are the delay...Still pulling 8-10 degrees of timing though, and I added fuel to 12.0 AFR on wideband,.... as of now, it's really sick, break traction at 60+. ESP is my best friend. Helps maintain straight line. Just some thoughts. When i tune, i'll bring some race fuel. My CR may only allow 16-18 degrees of timing in the pump gas tune...we'll see...sending some logs to my tuner.
