Well,
looks good! He put in Eibach pro springs at all 4 corners, so it does not weight transfer at all. BUT, Sawson, since you didn't believe the dyno numbers-

1.91 60ft.
8.30 at 84.8mph
12.84 at 110.54mph

launch at 2000, slight bog, barked 2nd. Higher launches spun hard. Brand new Nitto's.


Guess this means my dyno numbers at the same dyno weren't a fluke either...

And no- my car still didn't hook so it didn't run any better. But I had lots of fun racing Aaron.

About 3220 to 3250 depending on what day I weigh it at Sac.

Chirag's car is VERY impressive Sounds mild, and acts wild. Great job!

Jon- the 3320 weight was with Drew so with me it's 3370. I never did put it on the scale last night due to many hot laps at the end. Weird thing is that it ran 89.5 MPH in the 1/8 the first time out before I pulled some weight.

Drew's run-

12.26 at 113.97 1.82 60ft.

My best-

12.23 at 112.99 1.76 60ft. Hot lapped

I tried messing with shift points some and it liked the higher revs so I'll leave that alone. Next time I'll mess with the tuning. I've also got a few more mods coming to try and squeeze a little more power out of it and possiblly a gear swap. The ET Streets kill the gearing over the Nittos. It was a lot of fun though to finally get some runs in. I'll be back out soon.

Congrats to everyone for running impressive times.


Jim, I'd like to quote myself from July 7th, 2003 regarding Chirag's car here:

If I remember right, I was able to calculate your RWHP with-in 1-2HP based on your MPH as well.

my calclator


See you guys tonight

You like to quote yourself alot.

In my conversation w/ Chirag he stated that you were incredulous as to the accuracy of the dyno numbers and that only if the car ran 110 or better would you accept the dyno numbers. Do you deny saying this?

I seem to recall hearing this myself. He seemed to be waving the flag. As soon as I saw the 110's on the board, this was the first thing that popped into my head.

No doubt myself (amoung others) were waiting for track numbers to confirm dyno numbers. Now that we have a match, congrats to Chirag, its a very impressive simple combo.


Speaking of quoting myself, here is another great quote from that same post in July:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking....

If you know how to grind a cam, please step forward:

-Ford

-AFM

-Ford Motorsport

-Ed@FTI

-Brian@Hi-Tech

-Comp Extreme Cams

.......Not so fast Edward

At least we now know know Eddies "secret grind" to make 300+ rwhp with AFR165's and a cobra intake

---

So it looks like all you need is one of those "junk" Cobra cams to make 320rwhp with AFR165's.... thats FTI's secret "custom" grind.... '93-95 Cobra cams

Only reason I doubted it was because I have never heard of a stock shortblock + stock cam 300rwhp combo...

Often times its hard enough to pass the 300rwhp figure even with the cam

Kudos Chirag.
Luke

Chirag, how does your car idle now after the head swap and cam retard? Any difference at all?

Originally posted by st5150:
Not bad. many factors (new TB, new MAF, fuel pressure, etc) can cause the rougher idle as well. For the most part, no one would think its not a stock cam right? Do you think a retarded 5.O H.O. cam will make more power than your cobra cam?

Hey Aaron,
What are the specs on the cam (email me if you dont want to post here chirag@fordmuscle.com)
Shaun also emailed me with a custom cam idea... not sure if that the same cam, or if it's his own.
But ya, I may be interested. Thanks!
