Guest Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hmmm , pump gas streetable gears moderate stall and single plane thats fast and pulling good 60ft times !!!!!!!!!! Here's the proof, it works when properly tuned and set up . LOL Just pokin' some fun guys. Ask mc71454 how it runs and drives on the street.

mc71454 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Thanks Don For those who may be interested... I've been at it a few years just picking away at ET. The key is to not just throw parts at a car and to learn by taking whatever combination you have whether it runs 15's or 10's and maximize that combination. Then move into the next level you are comfortable. A plan that is patient keeps it fun, but the most important thing is the knowledge you gain and the great people you meet along the way. When you fine tune a combination over 2 years you learn first hand how all the parts work together and how they compliment each other...I cannot stress this enough to people just getting into performance street vehicles...especially those who seek to do it normally aspirated. Here is/was how my 10 year plan has evolved only looking ahead about 2 years at the most. Step 1 - 8 years ago I started with a 12.99 goal with 3.55's and mild 454 motor...hit 12.65 Step 2 - 5 years ago, 468 motor - solid roller 3.55's - Goal was 11.50's - hit 11.36 Step 3 - 3 years ago - 3.42's, 540" motor, 10:1 Canfield out of the box heads - Goal was 10.50's - Hit 10.65's Step 4 - 2006 - Professionally Worked AFR heads, Custom 1025+ CFM Modified HP1000, 3.73 gears (getting crazy now ) - Goal 10.20's, 130 mph - Almost there... 2007 - removing, hiding, modifying everything that hints it is a low 10 sec car. New Paint and trim. Car is original paint still. More fine tuning - Goal 10.1x's Step 5 - 2008 - 4.10 gears in a Strange S-60 (Dana 60 Rear) I am at the limit of the 12-bolt with the weight of the car Still NO power adders, new cam (already have it designed ) 8" converter with the same 4400 Stall)Fully CNC'd Intake to match heads, Hooker Super Comp headers with ceramic coat 2 1/8 primary. -- Goal 9.90 at 133 mph. Car will still be just as streetable and run 92 octane with no race gas. Sorry for the blabber just thought I would share how I set realistic goals and tuned and tuned until I reached them. Don't just throw parts at the cars to go fast (except Nitrous works pretty well I have seen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 mc71454, nice post, you pointed out an important fact here some guys overlook, each engine is different and all require tweaking to work best. I have been pointing guys toward combos similar to yours for a while. Some get it right off and some struggle to make it work. I give'um a starting setup and assume they will take it from there. My mistake maybe I should explain each time that this where to start. I build these deals for a living so maybe the tuning process I take for granted. I have some killer cam profiles I've designed for these pump gas deals as well as full on hi comp stuff. Did you pick your lobes or did you get a rec from a grinder? E-mail me,if you would like, what you are looking at and I'll see how it compares to my files on similar combo's I've done and dyno'ed. If you do also send me the rod length and whose crank and pistons, so i can have an idea of the rotating mass. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
