13s with a stocker, Bull****
 
Everyone is arguing over carb vs EFI, after reading those posts I have to say that some of you must have never went to the strip. Take a look at my combo. Either I have something bad wrong or your times are LIES! I haven't had it to the track since the the latest mods, but my friend and his Z28 runs mid 13s and my car won't run with his at all. I know what you are saying, better driver, WRONG! I drive better, do everything right, but the thing falls on its face compared to the Z. It just isn't my car either, every other mustang around here has the same thing.

Well, there must be something wrong with you and everyone elses car. If your buddy runs mid 13's and you can't hang with him that means either your motor is F*cked or you can't drive. Hell, My can ran low 13's stock on slicks. It's not our problem, it's yours.

Well personally speaking, I would never lie about my times or horsepower, I have timeslips to prove it. I would say something is wrong with your motor or tune. Is that on the spray your losing? I got my stock motor with 160K on it to go 12.87 @ 104mph with full suspension and exhaust on 10.5" D.O.T's, it had stock untounched heads, cam, intakes, injectors, etc....

Now I have the Holley kit on a fresh 302 and with bad heads (seals and guides) and no traction I went 12.6 @ 108 on a 2.48 60ft. I don't have the compression ratio you have either I am around 9.3, so something is defintely wrong, we have very similar combos, and I am currebtly running the 3:73 not the 4:30's. With the new heads and custom cam and the additions I did this winter, I am looking for solid 11's, and it shouldn't be a problem getting there.

Tell your buddy to come up to MD and I'll show him the tail lights of a Mustang.

Now if you want some help can you give a little more info. What kind of fuel pressure and timing are you running?

if you've got the holley systemax in a coupe without the spray it should be running ATLEAST mid 13's, especially with a T5 car. if my car can hit 13's with stock heads,cam&intake AND an AOD on 225/60 street tires then you should absolutely KILL my times, my advice to you is to get it dyno tuned and see what the problem is because either you are a horrible driver or your car isnt putting out nearly the horsepower that it can , what are you actual times? include et,mph and 60ft, and weather and track conditions, then we can go from there

With your car you should be in the 12's EASY!Low 13's with street tires. Something is wrong with you or your car. If you are the driver you claim, you should be there.

What were your "latest mods?"

You "do everything right" meaning what?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you think with the 175 shot you should be making a hair under 500HP! I would love to see a stock or even a bolt on Z, try to hang with that.

Mean50, dont start calling everyone liars about their times, have you checked you MAF? What kind do you have? Are you detonating? Hows the idle? Does the car surge at all? I have the same problem you do, I hit a 14.6 stock. I went to the track with everything in my sig except gears n longtubes and hit a shitty 14.4 @98mph, then I installed the 355's and the longtubes and went back to hit another 14.4! Point is, dont get mad, just keep trying. I ended up having the wrong resistor on my MAF. When I put the correct resistor on it cleared up the driveability probs but didnt gain much hp. Good Luck

With all those mods you have, you'd have to be THE worst driver out there, or be so sloppy a$$ drunk you couldn't even get the key into the ignition, to not be in the 13's (at least). Why don't you and your Slomaro friend come up to NY, and I'll give out some driving lessons. Helpful hint: put the ebrake down before you run him next time.

Hate to keep this going but come on. My car is damn near stock and runs 13.9's off the spray. I'm lopping 1.6 off with my spray. You havent told us if these runs against the Z were N/A or on the spray. Also, in your sig you say the kit is 50-175 horse kit, which shot are you running. I would actually be embarrased to come here and tell people those times with that combo, let along try to call a whole BB out. Just my 2¢.

Unit 5302 04-27-2001 06:34 PM

Agreed. Your car is messed up. Even with horrible driving on radials you should still be in the 13's.

With a tune my stock motored 87GT with exhaust and a K&N should be in the 13's. With 2.73's no less.

You must have a serious fuel or timing problem. Maybe the cam is installed 180* off? LOL

Seriously though, you need to bring that thing in. If you did the work to it, let somebody who know's what they are doing look at it. Somebody seriously messed that thing up.

why 30 lb injectors?? do you use the nitrous and still can't stay with him??

FiveLiterGT 04-28-2001 03:46 AM

Mean 50,
Please don't take offense to this, as I'm not trying to be harsh. With what you have done in mods, I think you should be well into the 13s. You can be the best driver in the world, but that isn't gonna help you if something is out of whack (trust me, I know.....been there, done that). Who did the work on your car? Is it possible that maybe the distributor is off a tooth or two (I had that happen) http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif The point is, don't take it so hard and personal that the car isn't in the 13s. I think mine should run alot faster than it does, but I have yet to meet my 12 second goal. If you wanna ask anything technical, or specific, feel free to email us. You can also go to the website to see my current mods. (FYI< my best ET with those mods ia a 13.496 @ 102.89 MPH. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

Mean50 you should spend more time working on fixing your problems than blaming other people for YOUR problems. Chill out and keep working at it. You're probably one of those people who gets road rage if someone looks at you wrong. calm down and fix your problems it's the only way to make your car faster, blaming other people won't make it faster....working on it will.

Sorry it took so long to reply. First of all the problems isn't the driver. Second that is without the nitrous. Third I am not saying that anyone is lying about their times. The track I go to is Bristol, TN (NHRA facility) so the timing devices are right. With ET Streets last year with the motor bored to 306 and an F303 cam and 125 hp shot, and 4.10s the car ran 13.49 at 100 but it could have been a little better. I haven't had it to the track with the latest mods (everything listed on my sig) but it doesn't feel like it should. Some people say the injectors are too big, so I took my buddies 24#ers and his MAF off and put them on my car, it popped through the intake meaning it was running too lean. The car surges around 2000-2500. I have also tried my buddies distributor and wires, no change. As far as fuel pres or timing, changed everything, I cannot seem to get the problem solved. THe MAF is a FMS calibrated for 30#ers. As for racing the car, it is one of the quickest stangs around on the street. I know you all put my driving down, but honestly I can drive with the best of them, speed shifting and all that crap. I **** around 5800. Leave all the comments to yourself and just give me your opinions on what is wrong.

K, first off the part where you say "or your times are LIES!" certainly seems to suggest we are all lying.

You had 13.49@100mph with an F-cam? Any motor trapping under 110 with an F-cam is overcammed, big time. Your trap speed indicates about 250hp. Why are you posting your N20 as a mod in that statement? Don't put the N20 in as a mod if the runs you are making are off the giggle gas. It's very confusing.

That's mid 13 with a totally mismatched combo N/A. How in the hell are you getting your Holley setup to perform no better or worse????

You should be in the 12's with any kind of traction.

You have so much done to the car to ask what is the problem it's too hard to diagnose. You are waaaaaayyyyy off where you should be.

Is the N20 a wet or dry kit? If it's a wet kit, ditch the 30lbers. They are way too much. Go back to 24lb/hr injectors and have your MAF calibrated. Running at 100mph is too low to even justify the 24lbers.

As far as popping through the intake that sounds like a valve sticking if you weren't under N20.

Mean50 04-29-2001 06:50 PM

Okay, the 13.49 was achieved with the nitrous last season with an F303 cam and 4.10s(I agree was over cammed). Since then I added all the mods on my sig. I am not running the nitrous when I say that I can't run with the Z28. You are right, with the nitrous I should be in the low 12s easy. For now I am just worried about it without the nitrous. The system is a wet kit. When I had my buddies 24#ers in it, when it was cold it would pop through the intake, as soon as you drove it a little it would straighten up. I don't think I can get the FMS MAF calibrated for 24#ers. Something is restricting the engine, honestly is the 30#ers way too big? When I bought the Holley Systemax kit, it recommends either 24s or 30s.

If I remember correctly, Holley claims that the systemax2 kit will take a full weight GT into the 12's. If the altitude makes that much of a difference that sucks. I'm glad I live at sea level.
Have you tried playing with your shift points? (not sure on the power band of that cam) Don't know much about your situation, but it's just a thought.

The best way to run your car is one part at a time. If you come up with a new combo and it falls on it's face, you can't single anything out. I've learned that the hard way with my 65' stang. It took 3 gear sets and 4 cams later to get it's best run. Put your part on, tune it, run it, tune it till you get it's best E.T., then add your other goodies. To me I think your cam and injectors are too big. E-303 with 24#'s will probably wake that thing up.

Hey Mean 5.0 I live here in SW VA too, and I've heard much about elevation differences, but I'm not too sure how much we can deduct. I know I was running crap a$$ times at Elk Creek, so I'd be curious to know exactly how much of a difference our mountainous area makes...I'll ask around. Let me know if you find out, but I'm slow anyways hehe http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif so you'll benefit more from the info.

BTW I ran a 14.01 @ 100 with my stock except 4.10s pig of a SN 95.

24lb injector will support better than 400hp easy.

Get an adjustable FPR, 24's and play with the fuel pressure, start at about 46psi. According to the stang analyzer 58 psi is the setting you should have with 405 crank hp. Of course, that's an estimate. Based on your combo making 360hp you'd set at 46psi. Adjust from there. Although I'm betting a dyno tune would add some serious hp if you are just out of tune.

The 30lbers are huge for what you have. You could nearly run 24lb injectors at stock pressure!! Right now if you don't have your fuel pressure turned way down (which will give you a shitty spray pattern), the computer has to be using all it's ability to adjust the pulse width on the injector. Anyway, your friend may have had a weak injector, or maybe you didn't pull the battery cable and reset the stock computer? How long did you drive it that way?

I think you should be in the 11's with the spray and traction to tell you the truth.

If the head/cam/intake combo was installed properly you can narrow the problems down pretty good.

MAF, computer, ignition, or fuel system (which we know isn't right).

What ignition are you running? If you are running stock, I'd suggest upgrading it, especially since you have bumped the CR.

Perhaps the antiknock sensor on your intake is malfunctioning and the computer is yanking timing like nobody's business?

There are still a lot of variables, but swapping the computer, MAF and injectors should give you an idea what's going on with the data crunching side of things. Swapping the injectors will allow for a better spray pattern and performance for sure. Am I reading your mods list correct? Your MAF is also 70mm? I would seriously think about upgrading to a ProM77 or equivelent.

Well to be honest Holley does recommend 30# injectors with the kit. What heads do you have from Holley (vlave size, PT# if you know it) I went with the 24# injectors because I heard people having issues with too much fuel with the 30#'s, but now I wish I would have went with the 30#'s injectors as I have done more mods adn the heads and cam I currently have could take advantage of more fuel. I really don't think it;'s the injectors but it could be..nothing surprises me any more. When you said it was popping at cold start and idle, I had that problem with my 75mm Pro-M, after it warmed up it disappeared. How does it feel in the lower Rms, where does the cam feel like it comes on, where does the power feel like it falls off?

Well the Holley heads are the ones that come with the Systemax II kit. I think they are 1.94 valves not the 2.02s. My friends engine is currently down so I am going to swap the injectors again and play with the fuel pressure and timing. It feels strong at low RPMs, but it just doesn't come on like it should. You can feel that something is restraining it. If I change injectors then I will have to purchase a MAF, what would be the best choice? How hard is it to swap computers?

As for using the E303 cam, that would totally take away from the Kit that Holley tested for best results.

Navasota is only an 1/8 mile track, and its 20 miles from college station on hwy 6 towards houston. I'd like to go to fun ford weekend, but i have to go to my usmc unit this weekend. Drill weekends always come at the worst time.

Ok lets see here... Somethin is really fuckd up. First off you need some HARD Numbers from a track, no matter what altitude because we can correct for that.

Heres an example though, I ran at a 3300elevation track and ran 13.8@100 mph... with no changes to the car I ran at almost sea level at another track and went 12.5@107. I had better track but 7mph difference! Other people report the same loss in MPH at this track so that could come into play.

Also please list IN DETAIL every part to your engine, intake, exhaust, ignition, plug gap, FP, Timing, ETC. Im sure we can find out whats wrong but you need to address all these issues first or its just guessing.

What Holley cam are you running the #51027 non-emissions systemax cam? Well when I was running that cam with my 24# and 75mm Pro-M I ran 41psi of fuel and 16 degrees timing, in the summer weather it seemed to run really good right there. (I switched to a Anderson Custom grind and a 76mm C&L, I plan on switching to 30# injectors a little later in the summer.)

With the old set-up the cam felt like it came on around 3500 and the car pulls straight to the factory rev limiter really hard in all gears. I always thought my low end was a little less due to the big 2.02 valves I have but the motor screamed.

I will have the new set-up started for the first time tonight, I'll post how it feels but I need to baby the T-5 to break it in as I just rebuilt it with all new internals, the other one was trashed bad!

Hey Rick...how do you like that C&L 76?? I have heard a lot of different opinions. Trying to decide between that and a Pro-M 77.

Thanks Buddy

I will know tonight when I finally start my beast after a long 14 weeks with out it! I am so pumped I'll post late tonight or tomorrow on how things work out. I have heard good things about the C&L 76mm. The only problem I ran into is since I have a 1" phenolic spacer which changes the angle of that nice tube they supply so I scooted my Mass Air meter over about 1" to make clearance so it didn't rub the shock tower, god I can't wait to get it started, I have done so much these last couple months it will be like a new car http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif
