it wasnt all right when i had the 125 shot on it!

and over 400 at the wheels is playing with fire with a stock shortblock. hell, 2003gt, his car was completely stock, except it had a procharger on it. broke a piston with 3k miles on it.

 

I only read just a bit of this thread...but i saw something mentioned about the blower whine not being preferable. Personally i like it, wait a minute...i love it. I cant wait till my car is a whiner. BUT, i will admit, i would like to get another foxbody and make a turbo car out of it.

 

yeah i ordered the SQ (superquiet) cause i wanted my car to be a sleeper. well, my SQ is not quiet at all....and since i put the skinnies/fatties on it, its not a sleeper anymore! but i do enjoy the nice whistle...pimp

 

sounds like someone else i know that had a cobra and recently sold it..



(before the intercooler, etc)

 

i just need 2 more valves per cyl and 2 more cams per bank....

 

bah u can still make all the power you need hehe

 

haha, like you said, the SQ's I have heard (including yours) are pretty noticable.

Like B&B said, stock shortblock is crap. Plenty of cars on the modular forums have cracked pistons, lost rods, etc on anywhere from 350-450HP. Can happen at anytime..... It's all in the tune, and even then you are on somewhat borrowed time.

 

i dont have the money to make the power i need....which is about 50 or so more

 

So, you have a 2V GT with stock heads and intake (meaning no port work) and you made 435 to the wheels on a dyno? How much boost was this with?

Steve

 

yes, that is correct. the heads are 100% stock and so is the intake. well i have that little upper plenum thing (+7 hp @ the wheels).

this was with 15lbs of boost (no intercooler) with a s-trim, 3.48 pulley and power pipe.

also, those are the corrected (SAE) numbers. ive seen as much as 444 on a cool day with 1 more degree of timing, but if the weather warms up, or the motor gets hot, it spark knocks, so we backed the timing back down a degree.
