What would I swap it out with a new Tunnelport manifold out of the Summit catalogue?:lol: I'm stoked on the power output and more importantly the big flat delivery curve.
Intake side isn't the problem. The exhaust ports on these motors suck by todays standards. A lot has been learned in 40+ years. We left a lot of hp on the table by not filling and reshaping the exhaust side. Blair came up with a cam and some other tricks to crutch the exhaust side.
Now that we've run this combo he's pretty sure there is some easy hp to be had with a different cam profile. For now I'm good with what it is putting out.

Rob -- why are you not starting the dyno duns lower than 4500? After all I thought this was a torquey street motor. :_paranoid I wanna know what it does at 3000 or 3500.

Jay will send me the dyno files and I'll post them up. We did some initial runs from 3-5k with each combo so we know what she does down there. Don't worry even at those rpms I have more torque than 200tw tires can handle.:rofl:

So.... now let's talk money. :unibrow: What was the cost of the Ford Hp per dollar.:rolleyes:
I'm just kidding you of course.... mature adults NEVER talk money! We just talk about "what we want"! You got what you wanted!:thumbsup: :woot:

:rofl: Thanks GW.
Funny how everyone will spend endless amounts of $$ trying to make their car "unique" in every way but the motor. :rofl: Tried and true speedway floater isn't bling enough or I need some HREs not Forglines. But under the hood cookie cutter is always good enough.
I like 60s cars. I don't want it to ride or stop like one but that RS chassis is pretty well hidden so it will do it's job somewhat unnoticed. I want mine to look like a 60s car and still have the soul of hp past. Nothing wrong with building a car just because of the body lines if that is what you want it just isn't my goal. I started my build based on the motor and the car. That's jsut what I like. :cheers: |
