This thread is comical.

I enjoy most of the mustang/cobra guys on the site. I am one of them.

 

this thread is comical, and i enjoy your sig. what setup are you running?

 

400" Ford Windsor based motor. (Dart block. 4.250 Bore x 3.580 Stroke)

Victor Glidden's that are ported in house at work. (must use an Inline factory styled cylinder head with NO porting or epoxy work.)

Super Victor Single plane with a HP Holley 4150. (Wish we could use a dominator but we can not.)

Other then that, it is an aluminum rodded motor, windberg crank, all the other good stuff. Turn it 9,700 rpm and it makes right over 908 hp at 8,800 rpm.

 

The car sounds awesome going down the track.

 

Thanks. 3 years of trial, error, and testing. It runs good, but we just need to get the suspension to stay consistent with us.

You should hear our LS1 (C5R) at 9,100 rpms.

This thing will make more power then the cobra. We already reset the N/A LS1 record with the car too and it has a 4 speed manual!

I have not seen the C5...I have only been to the NMRA events and run at only a few. Where you race the car?

Edit: Just watched the vids...that bitch hauls ***.

 

We are looking to run the Orange Car at the LSX shootouts and if we can keep trimming the ET down, it will do double duty in the NMCA Pro Stock Class.

 

Sweet. Should do damn well at the shootouts.

 

wow nice. whats it weigh?

 

Tips the scales at 3150. 3200 in full trim. Power windows, all lights work, etc.

We have to run a 28.50 x 10.5 as well. Itty bitty tire.

I also noticed I made a typo... it is a 4150 Holley... 4100 is nothing lol.

 

I knew what you meant. Keep us posted on that LS1 beast.

 

Is there anywhere I can read about your engine setup in detail (internals, etc.)? How long do you think it can handle 9,000? I've seen LS1 (346s), run up to 8,000 briefly, and the Corvette Race Team runs their R block 427s at 6,000 all day long, but they're setup for endurance, not brief peak power.

 

I can go into some detail but not too much.

It is also an aluminum rodded motor so it will not hold and last at 9K forever. After 50 to 65 passes, the shortblock will be torn down so the rods can be replaced.


I will type a better response later for you!

 

i wonder whos car that guy was driving...

 

Do you really have to ponder as to what to say to me? I see that all your post in reply to me are always edited.
I guess it's hard to have a battle of wits with an unarmed advisary I feel for you. Either way I make it up there this spring for a few runs with ya.

 

No...I edit because I make a typo, etc. Kinda like you should have done with your last sentence.

Looking forward to seeing you, your beast and you handing me a loss this spring.

 

BigBronco, if you don't mind - I'm interested too!
