i calculated you being at about 5500rpm at the line with that tire and gear combo.
with your peak hp at 4900, sounds like the combo is right on the money to me
i have an inch shorter tire and the same gear and is set up to pull 150mph at 6300rpm, where my max hp is at 5600rpm.
with all the wheelspin you speak of, consider yourself lucky you had such a large tire on there!
good mph, im looking for right in that range on 92 octane only... sorry to hear about the motor, i reccomend speed inc rails and some -8 pressure line.

Thanks. We have our own billet fuel rails we sell in stock. It wasn't showing any signs of being lean anyway...A/F was 11.1:1 at the traps on 11lbs of boost. And 12.7:1 on 13.5lbs of boost. Which is basically what we expected it to be considering the IC efficiency at the track as compared to on the dyno.
My point was to show the potential of the stock components, even if it meant risking the engine. However, it's not like the engine is blown. It's just starting to show signs of wear now. Which I would say is acceptable considering the abuse it's been through, and the mileage. In fact, I think STP Oil Treatment may take care of it all together. That stuff is the bomb! But I guess we'll never know.
Doesn't Virginia sell anything higher than 92 octane??? I guess I just don't understand the point of risking a high dollar setup (especially when you are on an admitted budget) just to save $.15/gallon. Oh well, not my ride.

Yah actually the 3.42 combo and 28" slicks probably makes sense given where your combo made peak HP. Harlan what was your best MPH with stock longblock? I know Harlan went 143mph with his forged 348ci and around 3600 raceweight but that's a different combo.

i will be running 93 completely safe. day in and day out. the 11psi level is still low for what it could be pushed to on pump gas.
i thought the target a/f needed to be fatter for methanol than gasoline? i never paid that much attention to it but i heard nearing 13:1 at that kinda output is 'risky'
if you know where to get c16 for 2 bux a gallon please let me know, and ill run 16psi day in day out completely safe because THAT too is till low for what it could be pushed to.

You're forgetting the fact that the taller tires influence spool-up. I can tell you that it was DRAMATICALLY slower spooling with the 28" tires, than with the stock 25 1/2" tires. Also, the slicks grow at the end of the track.
From my calculations, the 28" tire would actually be the equivalent of running about a 3.10 gear.

i calculated for your tire growth... if you didnt trim the rear bumper thats why you were getting tire smoke/rubbing down at the big end. thats a HUGE tire... and why i stayed with the hoosier 27's.
i figured you would have run the et streets you dynoed with at the track instead of these 28's you arent happy with.
i'm basing my comments off georges comments to me and his tuning expertise.
as you know my engine can handle cylinder pressure to the tune of 720rwtq (as done with your kit) so i can (safely) add boost until my tq peaks at around that value (same cyl. pressure), which could put me well into the upper 600's in hp on pump gas.
the current turbo is good for 9-950rwhp.

Like we all said, the track prep (or lack of), was TERRIBLE!

So unless you only have a 5% drivetrain loss, I wouldn't get my hopes up on that 950rwhp number.

Oh, thanks Rob, I was just trying to figure how much power one of our cars could make thru a stock longblock going down the track, and it sounds like 140 mph would be possible if the car was hooking up and was making good power at launch. That means that high 9's, maybe 9.75 is achievable with a stock longblock and proper fueling.
But when you talked about the vacuum, are you saying that something is wrong with the stock rings?

MM- I didn't realize you had a tangental housing. I hadn't looked at the new pics since the day you first posted them. So yes, you are correct....the tangental version will support 1100fwhp. Now you just need to get it to the track.
PSJ, I have no idea about the rings actual condition. I'm just making my judgement based on the now lower engine vacuum reading at idle. Though I would FULLY expect that the stock rings would have seen their better days by now.
I'm sure that at a well prepped track, I would have been able to use 13.5lbs of boost and seen an easy 140mph.

My engine is COMPLETELY stock, as is the 6 speed trans and the 10 bolt rear end. The only thing that's really comparable on our two cars, is the 1/4 mph.

rob, going to bother with a leakdown or even a hoses check to make sure you dont have a large leak?
i am registered for a race at mir on april third, by then i hope to have the
roll bar, new rear, s4i if the s4 ceramic craps, new rotors and pads, new brake lines, new a/f wideband meter, wheels/tires fitted to calipers, safety cut off switch, gel battery install done in time... will probably require some vacation from work to get it done.. but i still need the dang car to get here.
i plan on 'safely' running the **** out of it.

thought the target a/f needed to be fatter for methanol than gasoline?
So if you don't reprogram the display for different fuels, then for instance if you ran pure methanol at a stoich ~6.5-1, the display will still show 14.7-1 as it was setup to display for gasoline. But in reality the actual A-F would be around 6.5-1.
So His A-F was fine.
From my calculations, the 28" tire would actually be the equivalent of running about a 3.10 gear.
Nice power.
