thats pretty bamn good.
What u run at thye 1/4?
I'm sure there's still alot more to come tho!!!!!

 

id say if df got some slicks he would be hittin LOW LOW 12's

 

The Old 5.0 rear-ends fit great only if you stick with the drums it appears. The disk brakes widen the rear by 1.5" from what I've read, makeing them not as Ideal. Then again you are going widebody, so It might actually make it easier to find the right offset...

The Ranger/Explorer rear ends are staggered, using a short axle and a long axle. If you can find two of them, you can take the axle and axle housing of the short end of one, and replace the long end of the other. That makes the rear centered, and narrows it considerably. How much it narrows the rear end I can only speculate though.

 

LOW 12's would be a snap, high-to-mid 11's should be within reach with that much power

 

Well, the place I was talking to basically told me with 350 RWHP I could hit low 11's to high 10's, but I wont believe it until I see it. I guess Ill just build a car and see what happens...lol

370rwhp will get you better than high 11's in a FB with the right tire.

I know what you mean Alex, with the fuel pump under the drivers side storage bin it get's annoying after a while. I'm going to take my external bosch out and install a intake walbro. I'm hoping that will knock out some of the fuel pump growl. In place of the bosch FP I'm going to put a bosch fuel filter from the CIS mechanical FI cars of the 80's. I guess they have very good filter media in them because of the close tolerances of the workings of mechanical FI units.

 

ET is very hard to guestimate. To many factors. His MPH would be in the 119 range with 370rwhp. I would like to see his MPH # at 23psi of boost. That should put him in the 129-132mph range.
Very nice number!

Chuck, I know your car runs some serious times, what rear end are you using?

 

The salesman at the dealership I test drove one at told me this a week after they went on sale.

This only disables the traction control, it doesn't solve the problem on the dyno.

I heard that someone hard wired the front wheel speed sensor harness to the rear WS sensors. They said this made a 20 hp increase on the dyno.

This is second hand info though, but it does make good sense.

 

D.F.
Was useing the stock gsl-se rear end and trans. I was easy off the line, 1st and 2nd gear. Never got around to upgrading the drive line.

As you know I moved to Japan a few months ago and bought a 87 turboII. I shipping my motor and performance stuff here ( government paid ) and it will go in the turboII very soon. With the turboII drive line I think I will be able to put all the power to the ground and get better numbers. Will see if this is true.. Not much drag racing here, lots of drifting.

hey.. what do i need to show the vid of that? music sounds great tho DF.. congrats on the setup.. its VERY similar to what I want.. I am going to have diff haltech maps so that I can have a very low power, somewhat gas mileage map, a mid , and a monster friggen 400+rwhp kinda **** .. lol
again.. what player do i need to use? winamp 5 didnt work.. just sound.

 

oh **** nm.. once i saved target as.. it friggen says win media file rite on it.. :S.. sry

 

aww ****.. it doesnt play it either.. error dloading codec.. wtf do I need to play it with?

 

Also make sure you update your Media Player to 8 or better.

 

DF are you going to actually switch to the Haltech? If so, are you going to post dyno numbers? I would love to see dyno numbers, at the same psi, showing the hp difference between a blowthrough setup and a fuel injection.

 

oh that sux.. I hate the adware wit divx.

 

Yes, I'd like to see the difference too. Particularly the torque numbers with the long Cosmo intake runners.
