Hey guys, I haven't had much time to work on the 35th recently, but I have everything hooked up but the alky and N2O... Just thougth I'd share in the recent threads of project progress
I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten to 15 pounds without the MPii or iii?
I worked over the inlet plenum by cutting out the bend and welding kinda straighter towards the SC inlet side; then ported darn near the whole 75mm out of the TB side of the inlet. In fact, I ported it so much that when I had it sandblasted, it uncovered pinholes where the flange met the tubular part
So I had to pay a guy to heliarc that really thin area. For the other stuff I used a spoolgun on a decent sized MIG welder for that and filling in the gap between the supercharger bearings in order to make the D-port ala Manny Just for the record, I didn't copy his idea, I had that idea, then realized he had already had it Oh, I also epoxied the sound ports in the SC...
Anyways, I have a 10% blower pulley, 5%JS pulley, gtp rotors, with a double IC, raised top, ported head, a cam similar to Dr. Fred 520 specs, but just a little taller with same duration. And of course the home ported/big valve heads, and 94/95 mustang headers, etc, etc with freeflowing exhaust. 2.5" - High flow cats (wink) - magnaflow res. - then 3" out until it meets the factory split - then flowmassa's
Now I have not really beat on the car cuz I ain't had time to tune it, but I have laid into it in very short burst, and it feels really strong! It does creep just past the 15 mark on the factory boost guage, which had previously been about 12 before all the mods. I am surprised at the level of boost, and there seems ot be little if any belt slip. But I would have thought that I'd have stayed at about the same or even less boost, even with the OD... The heads have got to flow a little better, especially with the cam and big valves, and of course the exhaust...
It gets all kinda sideways from a stop, but it will barely catch 2nd with the stock VB I have in there; I got tired of waiting on the lentech, so I cleaned up my spare stocker, and put it in there, then the next day the lentech gets here Not their fault, I knew it was gonna be about 3 weeks, but I wanted to get the car on the road... I'm looking forward to getting sideways on the 1-2 shift, and hopfully getting it to break the tires loose from 40-50 Lord willin and the creek don't rise.
Now the non-locker takes some getting used to, kinda hard to explain, but it definatly feels better in 3rd and 4th.
Anyways, sorry for the drift, but I basically just wanted to know if I deserve a pat on the back for my boost level, or if this is about the norm...
Any thougts?
