Low 12 high 11 sec intakes - Page 2

HORSEMEN RACING · 06-26-2002, 10:16 AM

Gents and Ladies,
thanks again for the positive feedback,those "Factory Stock" cars are simply amazing,not only do they run close to factory equipment,they must weighbetween 3200-3400 pounds depending on which heads they run.

I still am un-decided about about what intake to run,I always knew that the Holley intake is a little big,for a mild street application,and I consider my car pretty mild,hell it still get's 23 mpg with a Cobra intake,E303,and 3.73 gears,and a lot of other bolt-on goodies.

Once again thanks for the replies,and the positive feedback,we all stayed focussed on the subject at hand.

RPM427 - did you have to do anything with your pistons for the stage 2 cam to work? how is the sound of it? what kinda time are you running?

I tested the difference between a 65mm and 70mm throttle bodies at the track.

I saw no difference at all on my car. It ran exactly the same.

I had a pretty mild combo before the blower,

302
mild 1262'd TFS heads
E-303/1.72's
Holley intake
equal shorties
H/full cat back
65 and 70 mm t.b's
30 lb injectors
Pro-m 75
pulleys
3.73's
T-5
28" ET Streets

I would trap around 110 with my GT-40 with a ported lower, and switching to the Holley gave me 112-113 mph trap speeds.

I agree with 1bad89, i see no reason to use a 75mm tb, unless your sc'd, turbo'd, or a big stroker, the 70mm is enough for any street car, even sc'd on the street especially.

many car in the 11's with a 65-70mm.

The stage 2 BARELY fit my stock pistons, It sounds great, idles half way decent. Now setting of car alarms is a sport to me. I havn't gotten a chance to take it to the trrack yet

, but it made 326 RWHP on the dyno.

Stangrrr runs in the 10's with a stock ported throttle body. He made somewhere around 520 rwhp.

DemonGT · 06-27-2002, 06:05 PM

so the stage two cam works with stock pistons with the TFS heads? huh

RPM427:

You made 326 rwhp with the stage 2 tfs cam and the systemax II? I assume you are running stock pistons... so I have a tick more compression, and am using the stage I and the TFS intake. What kind of power would you wager I am making?

Also, on a slightly less related subject, My EGR stuff isn't fitting to well up to my intake because I have a kirbain billet fuel pressure regulator. The EGR plate comes about 1/8th of an inch from being flush to the intake. How can I remedy this problem? Can I just leave off the EGR plate altogether? Will I lose driveability, gas mileage? Once again this is on a TFS street intake.
