Took the Turbo Stang to the Track.....
 

Well, I just got back from the track. First time out with the combo. Hopes were for 115MPH trap speeds. First off, the tune. Timing is set to 10 degrees, with 1 set on the BTM. I have the .25 Bar spring in and I am seeing about 6PSI in every gear except 4th, where I am seeing about 12PSI at about 6000RPM. Shift Light set to 5200RPM. I was seeing 70 PSI on the FP guage at WOT. Well, first run I went 13.79@105.91 because it was spinning the tires in 4th and It, in all honesty, scared me. So, since I was ready for it the second time, it bust out a 13.40@118.39!!! Can I get a Hell Yeah? Beefy!!! 118MPH with this ultra safe tune. I check the timeing, still at 10 degrees. SO I bump up the shift light to 5400 and it goes a 13.09@120.30!!:eek: :eek: DAMN!!!! I was REALLY soft on the launch and was getting between 2.4 and 2.1 60 fts on my street tires:D My 1/8mi best was 8.89@89.45, which I thought was pretty soft. Over all, I am shocked! Can not belive it is going that fast on this safe of a tune. Going to put the boost controller in and hopefully, this will bring the boost back to a constant 8PSI. I know it will drop the times a little, but I need to think about the engines life now. :cool:

Congrats Ackbar!!!

120 mph is sweet! Gotta work on that 13.09 time though...hehehe :D

Safe tune = 120 mph, I can't imagine what this thing will run with a good tune and some tires. Freakin' awesome man. ;)

Thanks cheif, A few guy were there from Columbus. One dude had a Silver Fox GT with a Powerdyne on it, AFR's and a RPM Intake. It was his first time out with the car and he got it to trp 109, he was a bit disappointed, but over all, it was a nice car. Another dude had a Black 98 GT, was a little beat up. Did not get to see him race though. Both were really cool.

killer trap speed. sweet:D

120! holy cow!! that low 11's if you hook and maybe 10's!!

Gotta love it when they do that (go faster then expected). Sounds like a really solid combo just tune it safe and get some traction and have tons of fun.

Ackbar and Sedanman - quick question...what compression ratio are you guys running?

Sorry this is off topic.

Thanks,

Stock, heads were milled a little by the previous owner, but not a lot.

I am running stock. I have a stock shortblock that was just reringed and new bearings put in it. I think the TFS heads give it like point two more so its like 9.2:1.

120 is sweet... I think I can get to 120 in about a mile or a mile and a half... maybe.

You have to start somewhere, I think I went mid 90's stock and I have worked my way up to 127.5 hopefully this year I can join the 130 club.

120mph trap speed.......dear sweet lord.

Can I drive?;)

How come only forth gear was seeing the high boost? I dont get that.


Sounds awesome man. Are your running an intercooler?

Is it not making enough traction in the first 3 gears to see full boost?

I can only guess, that the .25 BAR Spring (The smallest they make), allows for a lot more boost, under heavy load. Hopefully, my boost controller will keep it at a consistant boost level.

Yes, it is a air-to-air IC.

Hey, Sky, I finally found my 110 Trap Speed:D

1/8 mile MPH shows 12.0 ET
1/4 mile MPH shows mid-low 11's ET

You are rocketing after the 1/8 mile. Congrats!

You sure did man! That sounds awesome. The boost controller will definatly fix that. You should get a dyno tune once your done, I bet with 8psi of intercooled turbo boost and your steup you could see 125mph with a good tuner.

Thanks everyone. I am still pretty stoked even now.:) Now, If I can just get this damn blowby issue resolved....

Sky, you really need to get one of these turbo thingy's, they are pretty cool:cool:

How much the kit cost you. I need a power adder.

4K:eek:
