How about some more details on this car, like how much nitrous its spraying...

ORIGINAL: grabbem88

studded no port work unmatched cam hurricane intake...3300lb car....guess what? it runs 11.19 at 119mph!...stock bottom end also

there's a majority here who won't believe it...i know the source so i don't care....a monkey can turn a wrench,but they can't select a h/c/i combo
Don't call BS. You'll be sorry.

Here's the combo:

ORIGINAL: secret

Still a stone stock s/b sans the rings and bearings. The stock GT-40's that have been converted to stud mount. Some people see this as a non stock head. Ya, whatever. Its your excuse to discredit this. Holley lower. Hurricane upper. 90mm TB. 24# injectors. 1 5/8 LT with 2.5" exhaust. 38* of timing. The camshaft is a retarded grind. Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

But we have a new best. 11.19 at 119.63.

Im not calling you a liar, but some people dont see that much power with even the Trickflow top end kit. Do you have a dyno sheet? Those are some impressive numbers.

ORIGINAL: FordMustangXBA

My car makes 278rwhp with GT-40s and stock intake, E303 cam, bolt ons, and exhaust. That's un-tuned.
I believe him. I made 273 on my stock h/c/i

3300 including him i thought..still it's above 3000lbs and below 3300...better?


well he didn't say unmatched,but it's something he wouldn't sell to us..unless he did the set-up or felt comfortable if we knew what we were doing or not

It's not that they improve hp. It's that they are more stable and allow you to do more with the cam, which will make more power.

IMHO, I would stay away from the Ford cams. Oldish technology.
Look at Comps cam or something........
Also, ditch some of the wieght off the car no matter what year it is. These cars had very poor wieght distribution from the factory so chassis work is very important here.........
