User Rides / finally done... at least till the next upgrade... lol...
to be honest I am trying to blow the engine up.... it wasnt supposed to run this long.... the 347 is built and sitting on the floor ready to go in. but this darn 302 wont die... it does have really low compression with the dish pistons that are in it which helps alot... I am running 91 for fuel... I have been do all the tuning. I did pay a tuner to do the base tune on the dyno and I have just been toying with it sence....

Wow, that kind of hp through E7's i.m impressed.
Why did the afr's crack,something you did???
Did you tune the car or did someone else???
What kind of timing are you running on the top end and what's your air/fuel???


there was a crack in the first port on both heads when the heads got ported they took out to much metal and they cracked in the coolent port allowing coolent into the cylinders... its almost funny im the second person in the local mustang club that this has happend to... they will need to be welded.

when I made the 409 the outside temp was really good about 60 degrees my af was right at 12to1 and timing was 34 degrees. the first time the air temp went over 80 degree it pinged like a mofookie so it is backed down a bit and I set it a bit richer. I am going to put it on the dyno again next week to see how much it dropped should be interesting...
my af  now is at 11to1 at wide open. and timing is 28 degrees wide open full boost... these numbers are rough at best.... sence it changes alot on the road... with differing temps and humidity...

Hey Jon, lookin' good, congrats!!

thank you much, Mike... your parts helped make it what it is now. im going to need a new shifter trim cover bezel. if you stumble across one... I gave my boss a ride home the other day and he put his hand right on the middle of it for some reason, and it broke right in half.... im going to try and plastic weld this one but I have my doutes it will ever look right again... and I would like to have it mint for car craft....

Suspension/Steering / Opinions on installing m-3705-ds on a 83-86 TC
what both said... I did the swap... it turns in easier when cornering.... but thats about it... bump steer is more frequent... with the wide tires on it will rub the fender a little... I dont know if given the choice I dont know if I would do it again... I did it for more brake clearance... but later found out I didnt need to do it....

409rwhp is dam good,from what i gather your running a stock ho bottom end,b cam,afr 165's,explorer intake,70mmtb,maf, tweecer and Supercharger running???? lbs of boost???
Did you ever dyno it with the c4 before you went t5???
What was your 60ft when you ran that 12.2???
Do you know the weight of the car???
Just curious as to what my dyno numbers would be with the aod and what i would run in the 1/4??


12lbs of boost and ported e7's the afr's are cracked kind of a $900 flush down the toilet but... they can be fixed... I sold the tweecer and I am toying with the moates burnone... its not as nice as the tweecer.... but it was 200 bucks less... everything else is right though..

sorry the c4 blew before it ever saw the dyno... so I dont know the number through the auto...

my 60 foot was a 1.8. she gets out of the hole quick with the dr's but it could be better yet... I havnt had it on the scale but I would guess 3400... maybe a little less... a friend of mine has a mustang with similer power and he runs just a bit quicker...(12.14) at 3200# so basic math if driver skill is the same would put me at 34... I think...

well I think the project thundercoug is done... I decided to name the car Griffen.  instead of keeping the project name...

anyhow.... I have put 18k on it and it has proven to be very reliable runs fantastic and has yet to miss a beat.... I am very suprized that the 100 dollar junk yard short block that I bought to use for build purposes only is holding up so well... I planed on having a built engine in there by now but so far no need. so far it has made it to several bbq's and many cruises and 2 to rock falls raceway. it made 409whp on a mustang dyno at 5200 rpms and pulled a 12.2 at 118 at the rock. I am seeing about 17-20 mpg when driving normal and up around 24-26 on cruises.

for anyone that is unfamiliar with the car. here is some of the build as well as the pics....

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / Manual parts needed now! Please.
find a fox body mustang to part out... that is the cheapest way... I got my whole setup out of an 85 ascmaclaren that I found in the back yard of an old farm. pedals bolted right in cable fits perfectly where the speedo cable ran. I just moved my speedo cable over an inch.

total cost was 200 bucks. for everything. it takes time to find deals like this but they are out there just look.

well summers coming and I got sick of driving a mediocre car... so I went and bought a sn vr4 supercharger kit... it is installed now and is running good. good enough to completely and totally decimate a marauder with bolt ons... he tryed to pull a ricer flyby on me after I walked him from a stop... I waited till he was up to my door before I hit it... and I just destroyed him.... bad...
