blubarisax Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I knew I should have gotten the 14:1 compression ratio pistons when ordering the motor. The Dyno Dynamics is known as the heart breaker. Still, I think that some mapping would help. I'll never be as fearless as Croc and Kitcat in the corners, so I'll have to make it up on the straights.

blubarisax Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Are you nucking futs? Forgive my reaction but I am not sure this is a good idea... You have a precision machined engine component that you are going to just modify by laying into it with a grinder? How will you know you have taken enough off by just looking at it? Or do you have to put it all back together to turn over by hand to make sure it is not rubbing? I think you want a pro to do this for you using the clearance specs of the cam that SBD should have given you. Good news, only two cam lobes needed additional clearance. So the grinder came out (sorry Croc) to take off a couple of millimeters in two spots. The head is off the car and getting put back together tonight. Just waiting on the uprated head studs and head gasket from Cosworth. As an interesting aside, the cam to cam bucket clearance was not as good as it should have been. With any luck the motor will be better than new soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Karl: I am looking forward to the new hp/torq graphs. I will guestimate 20 more hp and 3 lbs torq. That wld make your already very impressive 2.3 liter, naturally aspirated motor even more impressive. You seem very close to upper limits here. 9500 rpm's is really wild, I cant wait to hear it at NJMP! Edited February 20, 2013 by Kitcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 The operation was a success. http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/image_zps324d20f6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball7754 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 ... but to paraphrase an old joke about doctors, hopefully the patient didn't/won't die. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The March 9 track weekend is going to be very interesting for a whole bunch of reasons to Karl and myself. If he does not blow up then I will be spinning off with the Mustang with its maiden voyage at NJMP on crappy BFG T/A rubber. :iamwithstupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Mike, I wanna see if you can get air in the Mustang! This is going to be exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Karl, that will be a given. He's full of hot air. :smilielol5::smilielol5: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Would you mind? :boxing: USS Mustang will be setting sail on track with twin 3 inch straight pipes. I will give you a good dose of nicely warmed carbon monoxide and other non-environmentally friendly particulates when you try and pass my 'Lurchmobile.' For seconds I have air horns playing "Dixie" reflecting that I am a true Southerner. I would also not recommend being in front of me in a braking zone - its quicker to stop 70,000 tons of Queen Mary 2 ocean liner although your seven might be useful as a wheel chock?

Kitcat Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Croc: I think it is time for you to post a photo of your Mustang: I consider it to be one of the coolest looking varients out there. Perhaps it even deserves its own thread to help focus the drool:)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 So, I got the cams and MBE 9A4 ECU. The dyno results show 263 rear wheel HP in Dynojet numbers. So, if I assume a 15% drivetrain loss am I at 309 Brake HP??? Either way it sure sounds good! The tuner tells me that the Mainline dyno he uses is very conservative and to compare to others using the Dynojet numbers. http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/Dyno2_zps1f83363a.jpg http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac336/blubarisax/Dyno1_zpsf44bf560.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sure would be interesting to see what that car with its new power and paddle shifter would do in the 1/4 mile (120 mph?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all say that! :rofl: All jokes aside, it sounds impressive. I will definitely be giving the point bys this weekend (in my mustang) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlumba81 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 How does the powerband compare to the old setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 About 35 more HP. Max power at close to 8,000 rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racing Mind Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Very impressive gains. Dynojet numbers are typically slightly higher than results on a Dyno Dynamics - validating it's heartbreaker moniker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
