Mr. Merk said:i know a local guy who was running a stock auto merkur
he had
porting
roller cam (ranger)
IHI turbo (small from T-bird)
no intercooler
stock open 2.5" downpipe
dodge 52# injectors
AFPR
and......
150 direct port funny gas
he went mid 12's with slicks letting off becuase it still had the unsufficient stock fuel pump

IHI, no cooler, & stock fuel pump all sound like it will struggle to hit the 16's.
Why did it have an IHI?
What programming was he running to use the big injectors?
How did he spray a 150 shot with the stock fuel and it live anyway?
I'm intercooled and have a very stout fuel system and could not spray a 150 shot without popping head gaskets?
Finally I don't see a C3 trans being able to take very many 14 second runs, let alone the weak 7.5" IRS rear.
It must have been a very special car.
351wcoupe said:So you are obviously talking about World Ford Challenge when all of that running was going on.
I did talk to neil. Since you brought him up I find the story more believable.
However......
Huber was in the 9's and would have been on that run too. I think neil just cut a better light.
If you were at WFC8 did you see the guy that proposed out on the track?

the 7.5 is really not weak just the ford T-lok that was used is weak. spyders are too small and not enough support.351wcoupe said:I may need to call a little BS for a few reasons.
