Ok ok ok, Ill do it tomrrow. But I cant see how a 351 w/ tfs R heads is giong to peak hp at 5000. Thats really low. I have street heats peakin at 5500.

Sky, What u have to do, is jack it up until the wheels are off the ground, mark the driveshaft with chalk, mark the wheel & remember where they are at, then spin the wheel 1 fill time around, & as you are doing that, watch the d/s & count how many times it goes around. Simple!

here are the dyno specs:

RPM TORQUE HORSEPOWER
2500 367 157
3000 386 220
3500 428 285
4000 458 349
4500 443 380
5000 421 401
5500 351 367

max hp 401@500rpm
max torque 458@4000rpm

that is on 87 octn gas

The point I was trying to make is that you don't get something for nothing. I've seen other messages here where people just can't understand why they can't go any faster. One guy is even dropping his EFI to go with a carb thinking that the EFI is holding him back.

They start with a stock Mustang with 4.10 gears which help a lot and then they do a lot of modifications and keep the gears. At this point, the gears are hurting and not helping.

BowTie, those numbers don't look right. The E303 should give you power through 6000 rpm and the TFS 351 intake should compliment that. Are those actual dyno numbers or did the builder just give you the numbers?

Regardless of where your power ends, anything above 3.55 would be a waste with torque produced by a 358. Unless, of course, you give up a lot of torque for HP through 8000 rpms.

jimberg, those are actual dyno numbers, from a magazine.

I'd stick with them for now. When it's all built, take it to find out what your dyno numbers are and then make your decision based on that actual data.

Cool

I'm with Jim Berg Boti, I still can't see why it is making peak power at 5000rpm with the TFS-R, the numbers just don't add up. I would go 3:55's since you will have all the torque of the 351. Why such a small cam?

the main reason for the cam, is because it wont require fly cut pistons with the motor combo. ill list everything i can think of, so here it goes

stock 351 block bored .030, stock crank modified for ford 400ci connecting rods, je pistons, tfs intake, 30lbers, 83mm maf, tfs r heads, crane cam (same as e303), 1.7rockers,... thats all i remember now. it costs 4k to build, runs on 87 octn, gets better gas milage than a stock 5.0!!!

Boti if you are spending the money for new JE .030 Pistons they should have the valve reliefs and you will be able to go with a much larger cam. The Cam is the heart of the motor, it will make or break a car. IMO I feel with that intake and head combo you want will need the RPMS to flow their potential. With a healthy 351 you may even consider 36# injectors, it all depends what is in your future? What compression ratio are you going to run?

For instance.. my next motor will either be a 393-408 I really haven't decieded yet it will have a X Trim Vortech behind it, I want to go 9's. Now the motor is in the future as my 302 only has 3K on it and should run 11's this year, the Blower should be on in a year or so if all goes well. I shift my 302 at 6300 and it is still pulling and my new Anderson can really should make the motor work better and more efficently, I would re-consider your cam and run good 92-93 octane gas through it!

I don't know much about cams, but what the others are saying makes sense, you should be able to get power a lot higher. I do disagree with running 92+ octane, stick with your 87! You will get a little more power with the extra octane, but its so cool to run it on regular!

I dont want to wreck the motor by revvin the thing to the moon to make powr. i dont know what rpm the stock block & crank can safley rev to.

it will have 11:1 comp. the thing will have lots of low end. thats wat i want, dont want to rev to make power.

it will have 1.7 rockers, so that means lift will be .529"

also, i can get a hold of some 4.10s for cheep. should i get them, or stick to the 3.08s???

You absolutely do not want 4.10s if you are going to keep the motor the same. The 3.08s should be just fine for now.

I have a 351 (check out my parts from my user ride link) and still have 2.73s. I can waste the new Camaros and Firebirds, probably Corvettes, too, but they are chickens or old men. I plan to go with 3.55s since I'm not getting into my power band fast enough. Anything more than that would just gooify my tiresm, if the 3.55s don't already. I'm not running slicks, though. If you do, you also have to consider the strength of your axles. I see my street tires as a circuit breaker.

You'll never run 11:1 on 87 octane. I still think you are choking it with the cam, don't go 1.7's get a higher lift cam and go 1.6's they put less stress on the valve trian, I'm sure some others will agree with me. I do agree with Jim go 3:55's the 4:10's will be way to much for the torque of a 351, you just don't need it. If your not planning on running high rpms you don't need the TFS R heads or Intake. Those componets like the high RPMS. Get a set of 185 AFR's and a Holley or Track Heat Upper.

Rick91GT is correct about the 1.7s. You should go with a camshaft that has the lift you desire. 1.7s are a bandaid so that you can get more lift out of a cam without having to replace it.

The 351 TFS intake, however, is the correct intake to go with. The runners are shorter, but you want that when you have more displacement. Shorter runners give up some torque in favor of more horsepower. You can afford to do that. I have a GT-40 intake now, and I wish I had the TFS intake. I'll probably get one next year or if I see a deal on one.

Jim your right about the intake for a minute I forgot he had a 351, the intake choices are limited the TFS is the way to go there.

What cam should i go 4?? reccomend 1 for me that would be better. I dont want fly cut pistons, so 1 with the same lift or less.

im thinkin this one caus that is what they used in the article
The R heads made 20+ more hp compared to the T/Ws. thats why im goin with them.
I will get 355s, when the time comes.

Question

Hey Boti- Your JE pistons will already be notched right? Or are you running pop-up or domed pistons to get the 11:1. The pistons will determine what cam to get. Can you give more info on the pistons and how they got 11:1.

something was said about only going 102mph, well i have 410 and would go no other way i can run 130mph all day long. All you have to do is invest a little money to get it to hook up. well good luck with what ever you do i am shure that thing is going to scream with what ever you decide to go with it
