Looks like one hell of a nice ride


Horsepower numbers depends on cam specs and boost pressure
id say over 400 to wheels since it has 8 to 1 compression and can take more boost because of it

 

[Cobra912]

not much on the fuel side of things...........I would say 380-400 at crank. But that's a guess.

 

[25thmustang]

Call me a dick, but did you build this, or did you get the info out of a catelogue and ask us what it would make?

I agree, lack of fuel might be an issue...

 

[Manewaymja2]

This car is a built car that im going to buy. The Owner built the car from ground up. I notice that you guys talk about the fuel. What can i do to upgrade the fuel, say maybe just bigger injectors (50lb) and say a 255lph in-tank pump instead of the 190. Any suggestions????? This car does exist. Do you think its a good built engine??????????????

 

[old_blue]

I agree with 25thmustang but to answer your question:
I would say add a 255 f/p, Fuel pressure regulator, I am assuming you already have a calibrated maf for the 30lbers? I dont think anymore than the 30's is needed IMO

 

[Manewaymja2]

{Call me a dick, but did you build this, or did you get the info out of a catelogue and ask us what it would make?}

Is the engine build not good and whats do you guys mean by this statement?


Also you mentioned a Pressure regulator / or do you mean a 255lph intank pump?

Thanks Matt

 

[Cobra912]

well in my opinion the engine would be fine with the 30's and the 190 pump. However I would think you may be pushing it with the blower as the demand for fuel goes with boost. I woulkd personally run a 42 or bigger injector as well as a minimum of a 255lph HO pump. I'm running both of these on my 331 with a Paxton 1220SL seeing abouth 7lbs of boost.

I couldn't find the chart but if you search these forums you will be able to see the recommended injector for horsepower levels.

 

[Cobra912]

oh also is it tuned with a chip or other device or is it running an fmu?

 

[Manewaymja2]

I think it has a FMU!!!!!!

 

[Cobra912]

If you bought it I would ditch the FMU too and get a tune from a reputable shop / tuner.

 

[Manewaymja2]

I have a post on the 5.0 Tech articles here now, looking for a tuner tech that is willing to travell to the Bahamas, as this is where the car is. Have any ideas ???? I guess i should go with at least 50lb Injectors and (2) 255lph Pumps or simmilar just to be sure and safe.
Thanks Matt

 

[bentley429]

OK it NEEDS atleast 42's and 255 intank 255 inline. It doesnt NEED a regulator but it would be nice. A tune is also needed throw that fmu in the trash. I would expect nothing less then 450 rwhp, should be more though. Put some front tires on the thing too.

x2 - exactly what i was going to say

 

[Manewaymja2]

I Ordered some 50lb Injectors and 1 in tank 255lph Pump and a Inline areomotive pump that flows 350lph. I Hope that will do it. I already have a Bigger Fuel Rail and a Pressure Regulator. Im trying to have the Car Tuned as well.

Any more forseen issues guys???

 

[bentley429]

Sounds like it should be up to par to me. Will make good power, blower cars are fun.

 

[Manewaymja2]

Thanks Guys for all the input, Thanks for helping me geting me on the right track.
I will post times etc once tuned.

 

[blackened88lx]

Yea, what Bentley said. Sounds like you're on the right track. 50s and a 255 will be enough fuel to make enough power to split the block. Hopefully you go to a tuner that knows what he is doing. With that low of compression you will be able to crank up the boost and run a ridiculous amount of timing. There's no reason you should leave with less than 450-500rwhp unless you want the block to stay together, but that's no fun, live a little.

 

[Manewaymja2]

Anyone heard of a guy named Greg at Speedy Dyno in Owensboro KY. This is where its going and he will be using a SCT Tuner.

Anyone have used him before or any good things heard about him??????

 

[91ghp5.0]

Run a google search. Ask about his experience with pushrod cars, smallblock Ford's especially.
