N/A 4.6L Race Gas build. just for fun.
Hello,
I have been lurking many of the forums for quite awhile and figured it's time to actually make a post somewhere. I have been working on my 2000 GT over the past few years turning it into a pure track car the I use to compete in the Driftwest Pro-series in Western Canada. After a few years of working on the suspension and chassis, I figured it was time to tackle the shortage of power.
There are 3 main reasons I am choosing to stay N/A.
1. In the drifting world most of the imports rely on FI to make their power, and they rev the **** out of them. Most import guys seem to see V8's in a drift car as "the easy way out". However it would not make sense to swap a 2.0L turbo engine into my mustang, Therefore I'm going to run the stoke size engine and rev the **** out of it!
2. The general path to power in the Modular world is FI (proper thing...these things love boost!) However I want to be different, and personally love the debates that N/A 2v threads seem to start.
3. Nasty cams, High compression, and the smell of race gas are 3 of my favorite things!
MHS is assembling a set of TFS heads with a their stage 3.5 camshafts.
Those will be bolted down to a Teksid block that has been decked .015" to be flush with the flat top pistons. Manley Rods, and the stock cast crank, all fully balanced will round out the rotating assembly. If all goes well, I'll have this in the garage assembled at the beginning of March.
14:1 CR
111 octane leaded fuel
edelbrock vic jr. intake manifold with the 6061 elbow
mezeri electric water pump
and a rotating assembly capable of 9000 RPM +
I'd love to hear what you think it will make for numbers.
