SilverPilate Up's His Ante

silver_pilate · 02-09-2005, 08:11 PM

Well, you know, I don't have that many friends who are running "real" Mustangs. There is this one guy; goes by the screen name "84GT3-fourty-pansy" or something like that. Anyway, he's got like three Mustangs, and his pop's supposedly has a Lincoln that was suppose to have run at some point

. Of course, the only thing I've seen running as of late out of his POS barn is his 93 vert. I think he says it has a Vortec, but by the way it runs, I think he's got it installed backwards and it's actually pulling air out of the motor instead of forcing it in.

So that being said, I had to go with the only reliably running cars I've seen in a while, and thus the Infinity.

Yeah, John, I look forward to tearing that ol' car of mine apart, that is, once you get back from your momma's errands in NM.

Should make a sizable gain in power. Maybe it will actually outrun my Infiniti? We'll have to race 'em before we strip 'em down. I guess I'll let you drive the Infiniti since you're the god of the stick...shaft...pole...pipe...

Also, if I remember correctly, the last time you drove an AOD car, you managed to grenade a piston.

Anyway, I sure hope we can put together a camro, firebird, and corvette beater. Since we're working on the Sabbath, we'll have to have a brief prayer meeting before we begin so that the Lord blesses our efforts and keeps those pesky motor demons away. I'll talk to you later.

Hey John, I got back the specs from Cammotions for that combo. Here's what they recommend:

Intake/exhaust duration: 230/234
Lift Intake/exhaust: .533/.564
Lobe center: 112
Centerline: 108

Compare that to my cam:

222/232; 289/299 (adv)
.510/.534
112 LSA

What do you think? I'm keeping the wolverine for now. Let's see how it runs.

we're a little off on the intake duration. I dont believe we've got anything real to worry about, except Gods sense of humor.

John,

I may end up just bringing out and dropping off the Mustang on Saturday evening. That way I can get both cars out there to race 'em before we strip the stang down. If I do, I'll just leave it in front of your house or by the barn. It's been sitting outside for the last 3-4 months or so, so it shouldn't hurt it one more night.

Have a good trip to NM!

If I need to make the trip to Lubbock and lay the smack down let me know

Ehhh...you know, John's all talk. He hadn't beat anything at the track faster than that V-tech Spec SR99 KZPTR Honda XSR 71. Of course, that thing was flying pretty fast. And I mean "flying". His wing was adjusted wrong and he ended up flying into a nearby mountain. I was hollarin' for him to just open his Nitrous purge valve and that would provide enough down force to ground him, but he couldn't hear me through his fire-proof suit and above his 18 RockWood 10 Comp zx55 subs. What a fireball. John only won because after he broke on the launch, he got out and pushed his POS over the line. The Honda guy never tripped the light becuase he flew over them.

Nah, it's all good. But anytime you decide to, feel free to come up and we'll shoot the breeze and run 'em out by John's house. He's got a pretty nice new 40X60' barn with a 2-poster overhead lift and leveled floor. Really nice setup. Despite all the words, John and his dad, John, are good folk.

Take care.

Monday:9:00 am, office in p-view:

I'm calling in dead. My hands feel like i washed them with a cheese grater. My shoulders are creaking and poping, and i'll never get all the crap out of my eyes that crumbled off the belly of your car. My ears have antifreeze and wax in them. I ate some doritos before bed and licked the powdered cheese off. Yep, motor oil under the nails comes with that. *I'd have to call that a great day!*

You guys are gonna have to rally to me and help me get my white junk running.

All in all, i say we kicked ass in tha shop. Got Tj's car running good, got yours out and tore down, got that f-bod junk ready for some new shoes.

Its just badass when you've got guys with air tools and bustin loose on a job like that. I'm lookin forward to the reinstall.

Dark_5.0 come on down, we got wrenches that will fit in your hand, maby a mug too. Will that hot rod of yours make it down?
