This just keeps getting better....
Went to the track yesterday for some testing & tuning, on a spur of the moment kind of thing. Alot of my friends were going & I haven't gone out just to test & tune yet this year.
It turned out to be a picture perfect day for drag racing. Low 70's, sunny, with a nice tail wind. The track was hooking like a gangster! Well, I only got 2 runs in, because on my second run, I ran my best ever of 10.784 @ 133.92!!!!!! After that, I was on cloud 9! I had a 1.684 60', my best ever 1/8 @ 7.064 @ 104mph. I didn't want to push my luck anymore that day. A friends car blew the rear end on a launch with his ET streets, and another guy in our group shredded his blower belt. I thought that I better save my car for the drive home. I was happy enough with the results! ------------------ 91 coupe 3.73's,long tubes,3" exh,ported stock t-body,ProM-77mm cobra intake,edelbrock heads,B303,1.72 rr's 36lb inj's,tremec, & a Paxton NOVI 2000!!! 10.784 @ 133.92 on BFG Drag Radials (275/60/15) |

For your combination, that is one insane mph!! You have to be making 600hp easily. How much boost are you running?
Excellent mph! ------------------ Jeff Kane 1990 LX Mustang Coupe |

Thanks guys... I'm still kind of in shock at that ET & mph...
My blower still has the pulleys on it that came from Paxton (10rib) & I make 10-12 psi of boost..... |
You still run a Motorsport cam too right? It goes to show you don't need a bunch of exotic parts to run the numbers. Is your shortblock the original for the car?
If it is that biatch is just beggin' to be split down the middle!!!! Congrats!!! ------------------ 1988 Mustang GT 11.8 @ 123 (7/14/01) 11.5 @ 120 (9/14/01) 1992 BadAzz Wrangler 1993 Explorer See my car at: www.mustangworks.com/cgi-bin/moi-display.cgi?179 |

Wow those are awesome timess on drag radials. Would luv to see that thing on some slicks.

killer times! runnin b cam?, i knew it, i argued with a guy that said that cam would suck with a blower, what an idiot.
yea, i know of a guy over here, (blkrain may know who im talking about) he owns a shop, but was running 650 hp on a stock 302 block, s-trim) he did eventually split the block down the center, but it lasted longer than expected, and went 10.1's, now he has an r302 347 now, with forged internals, and all the stronger parts, expecting 9's. ------------------ 90 lx coupe: 5spd, energy susp trans mounts, fms hd clutch, Mac coldair fenderwell, Mac h-pipe, supercoil, ADS chip, 160 stat, aluminum D/S, Black magic fan, 3.27grs.

Sisu, what's your secret?!?! I'd say a majority of the cars with your combo are running 116-124mph. You are running 10mph faster than that!
I've seen setups run 134mph, but they had 20lbs of boost running through their S-Trim/Novi 2000. You run 10-12 lbs. I have a few ?s regarding this setup that might help me to understand how you achieved that wicked mph. 1. How long have you had this combo together? 2. Are the intake and heads ported? 3. Has it been dyno tuned? If so, what were the numbers before and after? 4. What was your mph the very 1st time out with that combo? (1st time out assuming car was running reasonably well, i.e., no major problems w/ the combo) Really, the dyno numbers would tell me what's going on. As I've said in previous posts, your car has to be making AT LEAST 600hp at the crank to run those mph numbers. I would think 600hp is very tough to achieve w/ that combo. Most similar combos turn 475-525hp. Regardless, great runs! ------------------ Jeff Kane 1990 LX Mustang Coupe |
Red514LX -some A's your Q's
1 - I've had this combo on the car since the spring of 2000. 2 - My heads are fully ported, O-ringed, on studs, etc. My Cobra upper was cut open to be fully ported & rewelded shut. The lower has weld added to the runners for more room to port. 3 - This combo hasn't been on the dyno, yet. 4 - The first time I had this combo at the track, back in April 2000, I ran 124mph. I was letting off in the traps because my shift light was coming on too early. I was only using my 245/50/16 Nittos at the time (26" tall). After that, I went to the 275/60/15 BFG's (28" tall). Last season, I would usually run around 128 mph. Since last year, I've dropped some weight with a tubular K-member, coil over front springs, & I've moved the battery to the trunk. I've also removed the power steering & put a Flaming river rack on. The scales said 3150 last time I was weighed with 3/8's of a tank of fuel & me in the car. I think that the scale is off because I have weighed in at 3115 & 3175 in the same trim on the same scale! These past couple of times at the track, I have been launching at 4000 to 4500 due to excellent traction. I have usually rode the clutch out of the hole in the past due to limited tracton...My mph seems to go up as my ET goes down.... ------------------ 91 coupe 3.73's,long tubes,3" exh,ported stock t-body,ProM-77mm cobra intake,edelbrock heads,B303,1.72 rr's 36lb inj's,tremec, & a Paxton NOVI 2000!!! 10.784 @ 133.92 on BFG Drag Radials (275/60/15) formerly known as SisuStang |
Have you ever run it N/A?
How much boost do you see at the motor?

Sky - I've only run N/A back when I had ported stock heads & a "regularly" ported Cobra intake, B303 cam, etc. I usually ran 12.50's @ 109-110 on the Nitto's.
The boost reading on the gauge (10-12psi) is taken from the vacuum tree on the firewall, so it's reading from the intake. |
Awesome Time and mph out of that combo. I can't beelive it is going that fast with the B-Cam in there. A buddy on mine has a similar combo and goes 10.47 @ 130 and it made 568RWHP on the dyno smacking the rev limiter, we just got a RPM extender and need tto get it back on the dyno. You may have close to 600HP.
As far as the stock block goes, "Musmondo" ran a XX-trim with 23psi with a stock block, 69 rods and Hyper Ketih Blacks car had over 750RWHP and never had any issues with the block (I don't understand it), stall was 5500 and he shifted at 7400. All tuned through Accel DFI so I think a lot is in the tune. ------------------ Check Out My Site 91GT,Holley SysteMAX II Kit-Heads 2.02" x 1.60" port matched to a 1262,Anderson N-61,24#,76mm C&L,Full MAC, No A/C or PS or emissions, 12" K&N Filter,RNH PERFORMANCE Ram Air,Ron Davis Radiator,Full Suspension, SPEC stage III clutch, Lakewood SFI bell, S&W 8pt "X" brace,JAZ seats,3:73's,Welds..etc,4:30's and 31 splines coming very soon!

Sisu,
Thanks for answering the questions. It's obvious that you've worked your way up to the 133mph trap speed. You are an excellent example of "getting the most out of your combination". Over the Spring and Summer, you managed to eek out almost 10 more mph! Excellent results! ------------------ Jeff Kane 1990 LX Mustang Coupe |
