I've seen a few guys on TF post some high 17.80's (Yes, faster than Bhuff and Crovax). If we include other vehicles besides Mustangs then here is what I know of: 77 Fairmont Wagon ~3000lbs: 15.50's in NHRA STOCK class which is the stock bottom end, stock head (no porting), stock cam lift (.400 or less), stock intake manifold, etc. They can do exhaust, header, gears, suspension, slicks, and a few other minor mods. 70's Pinto: JD Laramee's old car: Low 10's/High 9's all out race car. 14:1 Compression, MAJOR port work, 600+ lift cam, 10,000 rpm, etc. Stinger
I still havn't figured out why I can't post a great time at the track. I guess my car is too heavy, and the auto sucks up to much power. I can roll the dyno pretty good though. Hopefully, I can get an AFPR on, lose a little weight, and get the 4.10's in. That will really help my times.
since were on the topic of auto vs manuel.. was there a difference in HP with an '88 stang and a '93 stang? cause my '88is a 5spd and my '93 is a auto...i think the '93 was faster, and had high miles, with slipping trans...my '88 dosnt seem to move to quick...at all..its absolutly powerless, kinda car i would do 30's in..
Heres my NA mods... 1989 Mustang LX Notchback Engine: 2.3 bored .030 Wiseco forged dished pistons Crower rods High volume oil pump 3 angle valve job Full Lunati valvetrain Gasket matched ported head Ported lower intake manifold w/ 19lb injectors 5.0 Throttle Body CAI intake with K&N filter 3 row radiator w/ electric fan MSD 6A ignition MSD Blaster coil FMS wires Suspension: Eibach Pro-Kit Springs Gas shocks Energy Suspension End Links Energy Suspension Poly Bushing Kit 5.0 front and rear swaybars BBK Subframe Connectors BBK Strut Tower Brace Brakes: 5.0 rotors and calipers Carbon metallic brake pads Adjustable proportioning valve Drivetrain: T5 swap SVO Flywheel and pressure plate Aluminum driveshaft 8.8" Rear end swap 3:73 gears Pro 5.0 shifter w/ B&M leather knob Steeda quadrant Ford clutch cable Interior: Rear seat delete Exterior: 6pc clear headlights 5% limo tint 15" 10 hole rims with 225/60/15 HR Daytona Tires ---------------------- And when I dyno'ed my car the other day I layed down a MEAN 77hp! But then I got down to it and my TPS was waaaaay off. Didnt even go to 4V at WOT... I dunno why its so low... good thing its commin out for a v8. Its probably bulletproof in its NA form right now... but just open up the CC's a little to lower compression since the head was milled after the dished pistons and slap a turbo on it and it would make some great power I'm sure... I just want that mean deep sound and torque of a v8 though... anyways back to the topic. The NA 2.3 is a beast... err pile of crud. If we have more displacement than a honda motor, why in the hell cant we pump out some decent numbers like them? Is it basically all trapped in the head?
Thats what i thought, its crazy how the '93 auto was so much faster than the lower milage '88 5spd...
yeah, makes scence..guess the '88 is all screwed up..haven't touched it since i got it haha..i'm actually working out good with the trans grinding problem. so it holds me off for a bit while i save moeny for the rebuild, if i still think its worth it. i hope they do a good job, so i can slap a nice turbo motor in there, along with the nice rebult solid trans...
What kind of speed are you talking about? I'm guessing its drag. Look up silverhorse racing, Marcello canitano's 93' N/A mustang he uses in S.C.C.A racing. He said he can get up to 200hp on N/A trim but becuase of class rules they want let him. Also it wouldn't sound like a 2.3L (I still haven't figured out how to add links to a reply sorry)
Hey, thats a pretty cool site, thanks for the link! Insert random smilies here: .....I love how the dead smily guy get puked on!
