Nice looking garage there. I'll bet it's nice knowing what kind of craftsmanship you got with your new motor.

 

[Blk91stang]

I got everything installed using the RIGHT tools, got my air conditioning recharged, and got inspected all at the same place. It was nice since he was closed for a whole week so thats what I did everyday for a week long all alone for the most part so i guess the quality stuff was up to me still...

 

[Flavadave4]

nice......what kind of numbers are you shooting for?

 

[Blk91stang]

I made 405rwhp with a 302 and stock cam and 2-1/4" flowmasters.

With the only upgrades being a 331, cam, and mufflers, I expect somewhere around 450rwhp @ 8-9 psi.

Looks like you'll be at the top spot on the block.

what kinda heads do you have? nice setup you got there

 

[91ghp5.0]

yes, what are power heads? what was the old combo exactly? im quite interested, because im really looking into a novi 1000 or SC trim just for a little more kick on the street. can you give me a run down on the old combo?

 

[93GTosu]

i believe they are CNC ported E7s

Looks AWESOME btw!!

 

[Blk91stang]

yep, basically ported with a bigger set of valves. It seems like their price went up since I got them and would probably just get a good set of aluminum heads if i did it again since their only a couple hundred more.

My first combo was a SC-Trim on a stock motor with exhaust. Netted me 272rwhp and 13.1 @ 106mph timeslips

My 2nd combo was the same SC-Trim with powerheads, intake, injectors, 70mm t/b, and power pipe. This netted me 405rwhp and 12.2 @ 114 mph timeslips.

This will be my 3rd and hoping for around 450rwhp and an 11 sec timeslip!!!

 

[91ghp5.0]

awesome...it was a completely stock short block originally? that leaves me some hope of getting near 300 RWHP.

Yep, 130,000 miles, 405rwhp and it still was going strong. The only reason I got a new shortblock is cause I popped a total of 3 head gaskets before throwing in the towel. I think it was just my block deck wasn't flat...... and 10psi of boost didn't really help much either.

 

[91ghp5.0]

im only looking at 5 or 6, just for some ****s and giggles (and to beat the deam skittles running around town)

[Nopantz]

No sarcasm, but thanks - I can't wait to get a motor from Rick and be in your power range someday. Congrats again and enjoy!
