I'm pretty sure this weekend is the bike finals in Gville. I don't think racing cars is an option but if it is that would be great in this weather after the front. I'll be at the dyno, should be fun.

I dont know much at all about the mustang guys but, I heard some **** talking about them just swapping the pulley on the cobras and cranking out the HP numbers... If true, just doesn't seem fair.. haha..

Great meeting you guys. Nexttime I'll make it a late nighter but I had a rough week.
Looks like I may have to do something with the stock heads sitting in my garage I got off ebay. Send them out for some work because getting 400rw with my current setup is not looking likely. Also a healthy shot of juice will shut up those pesky blown Cobras on the dyno.
Let me know the nexttime ya'll meet up again. That was fun just cruising back from GCS.

^^^.....are you going to get it retuned? and how conservative of a tune is that, that mti put on?....you were pretty close to 400...what did you finish at ? 392 or something?....what kinda TB do you have?

if you dont have a pulley (i cant remember), and you port your TB...along with a tweak or two from harrison im sure it'll hit 400....but thats really good numbers for cam only

moma...is there another sonic closer to town?....cause like i said...i left jason's at 9...got out to sonic AT the beachs around 1015...and there was a truck and a volvo

hopefully jason will make this a once a month thing or something....ill throw the car on next time, but like i said i dont expect much difference then what Kris got....with the converter unlocked

If you guys want to come to gville on the 11th there will be a car show from 6-10 in the publix parking lot on 39th Ave right off the interstate. Theres usually a really good turnout. For the past few shows there have only been 1 or 2 other 4th gen Fbodies out there including mine so it would be awesome to get a crowd!

He's gonna tweak on it more. I did the home porting job on my stock TB and I have a march u/d pulley already on. Next time I'll run a short belt so we'll see then. Maybe it can be done.
The MTI tune from before was kinda lean when we checked it with the wideband. When they tuned it I was running an LS1 intake and unported TB. Since then I did LS6.
