Update:
Made some runs tonight and leaned AFRs from 10.8 to 11.3. Night and day difference, car felt nice and smooth at 1 bar boost right to 8k rpms. Felt good to actually shift at redline and stay in the powerband.
Now I just have to up the boost to 18 psi.
Ihor, how about we go from a dig? zero to 150 .

Boost is gear dependent, but the car makes about 10 psi by 3800 and 15-17 psi by 4300, give or take a bit.
Ihor, I'll ask my brother if he knows of a place.

0 to 170 would be more interesting
I'm guesing the Mustang falls on it's face like the one dimensional boat anchor it really is at about 155
put some 100 octane race gas in it and let her rip (I just filled up with 100 myself for BDC tuning and tried not to watch the dollars as they scrolled past at light speed, ha)

How did the tuning come out? If I can find a local source for 100 octane I may end up using it all the time.....

i even think 0-150 is over doing it, you cars will not trap any higher than 120-30ish, so why even push it way past the quarter?
dangerous and stupid if you ask me, but be safe and good luck to both.

Honestly, Ihor's mustang isn't a bad car, it's definitely very fast in a straight line. You've got to respect the power he's made with a minimum of mods.

Come one guys....let's not ruin this friendly race.
I don't see a need to go into 5th gear. From a dig to ~140 or top of 4th gear.
or rolling race...2nd or 3rd gear to end 4th >>>>> on an empty highway.
Not sure of the Cobra's gearing, Ihor what does your 4th top out at?
That will show the potential of both cars based on HP and weight......and driver:-)
Let me know when it goes down.
I'll represent the rotary side on pump gas or camera car....does not matter.
Nice to hear Rich has the car ready for battle !!!
Ihor is probably installing some NAZZZZZ to make sure no rotary gets in front of him....(Hehehehehe....only kiddin').

and stop name calling on other cars because it doesn't meet YOUR standards, other people obviously have diferent needs than yours.
that's a nice cobra, stop being a ***** all the time and give credit where it's due even if you don't like what it is, all you're doing here is stirring things with your name calling.
Goodfella, when are you guys running again or is anything planned?
remember, just be safe and don't listen to Improved.
