I pull 391rwhp/378Tq with just a 220. And with 115lsa it idles like almost stock, and it passes sniff tests. A lot of takers on challenges as they always think i'm kinda stock. Plus a little 'juice' and I'm over 500. =

 

i take it you you have full bolts and/or heads?

you got the mti stealth cam; 220/220 .581/.581 115lsa?

 

yeap.

sounds like a stout streetable setup

 

Thank you, but as you know it's never enough. Something to do with the "mod monster", LOL.
I want to take it to the track, but they booted me out after my first run for breaking into the 11's and lack of safety equipment. Thank god I didn't use the "juice", I probably would have been banned forever.

Your TR230 with 111 lsa must be a mean sounding beast.

 

lol, tell me about the mod bug, i just bought my car on july 18 03 and look at all my mods

havent been to the track yet so i dont know what i'll pul. at least you got in one good run. ya, the 111lsa definately has got some lope to it

 

LOL. South FL. that isn't what I meant. I mean having a cam that is just too big for the street, the lope I don't mind at all, it's when it becomes hard to control the thing is what I am concerned about. When you basically have to rev the thing way too high just to take off. And then when you do you are basically going to rear end the guy in front of you.
So that big of a cam that you have drives fine on the street? How bad is that much lift on your springs? I think I want to get a cam a little bigger than the 224, something along the lines of what you have, but I'm worried about going through springs all the time being a daily driver. And I also need to see what kind of heads would do well with that large of a cam. And on top of that how well will that type of cam react to lets say a 150 shot of juice? And before I do any of this I am going to need LT's, high flow cats and some bullet's.
God this stuff adds up so fast! But you gotta love it.
Thanks for all the help guys.

IMHO, to benefit from a bigger cam you will definitly need LT's and a good y with perhaps C/OUT. Not to mention tuning. As a matter of fact I would do these before the cam (- tuning), and with the cam you have to upgrade the valvetrain, and the timing gear and the oil pump and the heads, and with juice, you have to do fuel pump, and LOL with all that you'll need better brakes.

 

This cam has less aggresive lobe profiles, therefore the high lift values are somewhat muted regarding spring life. Look around if you want something a bit bigger than a 224. TR230, MTI X1, TSP has a few grinds also.
As I said before though, the TSP231/237 loves the juice.
Good luck!

 

hard lope is the best part of the cam? i prefer the power, personally. but that's just me.

 

I'm with you on that Mario, that's why I use the SS1. Not to mention that like I mention before, on the street, once they hear that hard lope a lot of would be challengers back down. I make up for the few Hps lost with juice. works most of the time.
Of course if I had an M6, i might have gone with more lope, so i could take advantage of the higher Hps at 6500rpm+ and with juice I could stick it to the "Ricers" from a roll (This where I'm at a disadvantage with my A4 )

 

Yeah I know I need LT's and a cutout before I get the cam, I'm already planning on that.
That and a new rear end, I just want to have some more knowledge about cams before I go picking one out. I think I like the idea of that 231/237 with a shot of juice though. What kind of ramp rate, LSA, and lift does that cam have?

And I agree, I want the power more than the lope, the lope is just a bonus

4th Gen, I've already got powerslots and hawk pads, steel braided lines, etc. Stopping isn't a problem anymore, now it's just traction and going faster! I thought that 98's already had better fuel pumps than 99+? That's why their fuel system could handle the 150 while the 99+ could only handle 125 without going bigger on the fuel pump?

Thanks for all the help guys.

Black Formula 01 sorry, didn't mean to steal the thread or anything.

 

z289899, contact Texas Speed & Performance. They'll guide ya.

 

That's probably what I'll end up doing when the time comes.
Thanks for all the help though guys you have realy helped out a lot. I understand 300% more now than what I did.

You are right about 98's having more flowing fuel pump but barely.
That cam will put you with bolt ons in the neighborhood of 430 rwhp N/A if not more, add 125 rwhp and you'll end up with around 550 +rwhps, way more than the stock pump can handle. Not to mention that pump if still stock, is over 5 years old, do you want to take the risk? You be the You will even have to go with bigger injectors with the "juice"
On the bottle I'm 500+ with a 220 cam/NOS, and I had to retard the timming (Therefore my nicname) because I was way too lean at WOT/juice.

 

Very good point, see this is why I ask questions! I don't think about stuff like that. I forgot to add in the cam and stuff. So I'll need bigger pump and to be on the safe side 42# injectors? From what I've gathered on here Walbro makes some of the best pumps? I'll want to make sure I have more than enough in that dept. I guess. And also I understand I should go with an intank pump? Because an in-line pump will still have to suck through the stock one in the tank? So much planning to do, so little money to do it with! lol. But I'll get there.

Oh yeah, on a good note, I think I'm going to go to VMP this friday and try racing this thing for the first time, wish me luck.

And thanks again.

Nick

 

Good luck and post your #'s after race

 

oh I deffinately will. I'm going with a buddy that has a 99 mustang gt with a charger pushin 17psi. He's got 200+ time slips so he's going to help me out some. And to think I used to beat him a year ago with my 99Z completely stock and his decked out except for the charger. Then he blew a plug, cracked the fuel rail and set the whole car ablaze and decided it was time for a major upgrade. lol. yeah I'd say. The funny thing is, he has been running 12 flat all year and just can not break the damn thing into the 11's. It will be a lot cooler this weekend so we will see if he can do it. Even though he's got a mustang I'd still like to see him do it. He's put a lot of work into that thing. We'll have quite a few guys going, a few f-bods too I think, I'll let ya'll know how we do!
