Author Topic: Ran 8.42 and 8.44 at TNT 02Dec-Sac KevinL ¯ Member # 2428 posted                              Just wanted to share this. Went to Sac for TNT on 02Dec. I recently changed heads, intake and cam and put my older D2 Procharger back on. The D2 is driven by a 12 rib belt not a cog belt so it slips a lot at high rpm. I also put my 3 inch exhaust back on (hooker max flow mufflers). Another change was I'm using a large air-water in car intercooler. First pass was an 8.8 and I was pretty happy but upon reviewing the FAST data log I noticed the tune was way off. The tune I was using was for my F2 Procharger which I'd taken off the car because It was throwing belts. Well, the recorded data indicated I was running very rich and not running enough timing so I corrected those 2 areas using my laptop. Next pass was an 8.44 at 159mph then I backed it up with an 8.42 at just under 160mph--awesome for a D2 procharger with a rib belt. The thing is I have a smaller pulley for the D2 which in the past has been good for another 3 tenth's. I think next time I'll try it.

I hope to be racing my '65 this spring/summer in NC. Waiting for my lift to be delivered. -------------------- '92 LX T5 Looked stock, went 11's 11.90 at 115mph.

If it was i was meaning to come by and say how nice the car looked (even with white hood lol) I have some of your runs on my buddy's cam. Car looks like it's running really good especially of the line. Congrats on the new #'s Patrick -------------------- 9 Sec EVO 9 is GONE! New project in the works.......

Saw you at the track the last time with all those problems....didn't see one clean pass that day. It was good to see some clean & FAST passes out of it yesterday! Sometimes new/better/bigger parts just don't work as good as the old tried & true. -------------------- www.advancedenginedevelopment.com SCT dealer Dynotuning (916)715-7569 Posts: 4265 | From: Fair Oaks, CA | Registered: Nov 2000  |  : 2stangs69-91 ¯ Member # 1951 posted                              nice passes..but it also scares me I am going to run a F2(if I ever finish)and don't like hearing about belt issues . Are you ever going to put it back on? What are the fastest times you know of for a ribbed D2 that has to up on the list pretty high. -------------------- 69 Mustang on hold 1991 LX hatch getting a make over 1994 F150 4X4 351 2006 Yamaha V-max 1200 Modded Posts: 3711 | From: Redding | Registered: Oct 2002  |  : FoX GT ¯ Member # 4587 posted                              nice runs! -------------------- - AED - 03 Cobra 10th anni 3.4 Whipple 9.47@141 2012 Mustang GT 10.98@125 2015 Mustang GT Bring what you got and hope its enough!

Posts: 200 | From: Vacaville | Registered: Feb 2003  |  : KevinL ¯ Member # 2428 posted                              The F2 was/is extremely powerful and I saw 30 lbs boost but the power application was like a light switch--1000 plus horses right now! I just could'nt keep up and would try and peddle the car which in turn would break or throw the cog belt. Out of frustration I changed back to a good known setup--my trusty D2 with it's 12 rib belt and less boost.

I haven't seen you at Infineon lately so I was wondering if you were still racing. I parked my car this year so I have only been going out once a month and racing my bike. I will be out next year with a new motor. I ordered a Dart based short-block and have already pulled my old motor. Hopefully I will see you out there next season.
