Gotta agree with Ron on this one.:willy: :willy:

Just got back from Dyno week and came up with some new questions. :cheers:

Tony Oddo finished up the "refresh/repair" of the Mustang motor. Dyno sheet is just maybe half a horsepower lower than before. I'll take that! :D

nice numbers Greg. Car is a ball to drive. :thumbsup:

Since you granny shift at 4800, what's the peak power matter to you? :lol:

Ouch...

It's go time!

Yeah.... Charley told me that things last longer and are less expensive if I don't wind it out every shift. Obviously he lied! I only drove the car 3 times and I'm having the motor rebuilt - the tranny is worn out... and needs dog gears and something else... and I've blown through 2 sets of tires. WTF -- from now on I'm going to start to drive it hard!


:rolleyes:

BTW -- I only pick up 10 ft lbs of TQ from 4800 to 5800 so WTF why rev up the motor for a lousy 10 ft lbs! :lol:

because the rpm drop upon shifting puts you down around idle. :rofl:

Yeah -- that whole shifting thing is an issue.... :lol:


McGee just called ----



Turns out that I also have cracks in my shifting forks! So it's a good thing I asked them to tear into the tranny. Lose one of those and we'd have a major issue! The dog rings not so much - but pieces breaking and going into the tranny (meat grinder) wouldn't be a good thing. So $1500+ in tranny parts can be added to this little excursion. The motor refresh was actually cheap IMHO @ 6 grand. Funny -- the ONE valve -- $130 bucks! :rolleyes:

:wow: and you only drove it 3 times??!?!
