No 500 for me... for now

[HyPer50]

Well, finally got the dyno sheets scanned, ended up with 470rwhp and 443ft-lbs. Not much more than what I made before, but the entire power curve is up quite a bit from last time... and it was about 40 degrees hotter outside this time around heh. Oh well, I'm not too disappointed... I'll hit 500 sometime later, I'm gonna be happy with it as is for a while and give my wallet time to refill lol..

I also have a video of the dyno runs if I can ever get my firewire port working...

nice numbers

[The Ren]

hey those arnt bad at all.. I give ya props man..

You did get quite a bump in the midrange. I would imagine the seat of the pants feeling is quite a bit different although the peak numbers didn't change much.

Yup... the numbers may not say it, but you can feel the difference heh.. now i just need some tires... these bfg g-forces just aren't cuttin' it. you get anywhere near full throttle and it just shreds the tires, atleast in 1st and 2nd gear.

[99SI]

what gearset are you running?

[HyPer50]

what gearset are you running?

3.73

[boosted1jz]

yea ur powerband looks nice man!!!

u should come up to the NP meet so we can check the car out :D


add a lil spray to it ;)

[HyPer50]

add a lil spray to it ;)

never... lol.. I know lots of people have luck with it, but I'll never put nitrous on any car I own. I didn't pay $3000+ for my blower and all the fuel components (injectors, pump, regulator, etc) to blow my motor up with nitrous = P

[99SI]

My uncle's got an 81 El Camino that he's built w/ a 383. He put in a 3.73 w/ the Turbo 350 and couldn't do shit. He dropped back to a 3.42 but kept the 3.73 in case he can find a good 700R4.

Ya... 3.73 with the tremec 3550 tranny is a pretty good combo.. with an auto I'd go with some lower gears, 4.10's or maybe somethin' a bit lower... atleast on a 5.0, I got no experience with the chevys = P

[rollin_hard]

ahh, good 'ol domestic power. 470 to the ground. *good*(rubbing hands)*good*

[boosted1jz]

i didnt say spray a 19874987502394502389598746 shot.... i meant like a 50 shot.... and a wetkit would be better for u too :D

[kilpatty43]

damn nice numbers

[efman]

what 1/4 mile times do you run

[tony]

very nice numbers, I can only imagine what 443lbs of torque would feellike

[Spyder]

/deliverance voice
real perty curve you got there boy

[4dmin]

:goodjob:

[Pablo]

wow, very nice

[HyPer50]

what 1/4 mile times do you run

haven't had a chance to run it on the track since i got the blower put on (january)... but an educated guess (not mine... lol) was that with drag radials it'd be low 7's in the 1/8th... dunno about the 1/4... probably low 12's high 11's.

[HyPer50]

very nice numbers, I can only imagine what 443lbs of torque would feellike

Shoot lol, that sounds like me at Ford the other day talkin' to a guy with a F250 turbo diesel with 400 somethin' whp and close to 1000lbs of torque = P Couldn't imagine what that would be like... that'd seriously kill some tires haha

[£G2♣]

still nice numbers tho..

[mocha latte cupcake]

congrats on the #'s man. Thats an awesome power curve 2. what do you expect to be next in your quest for 500?

Well, for now I think I'm just gonna save up and get the hood, spoiler, and paint done... but thats gonna be awhile lol. It's gonna sit at 470 for awhile... well I take that back, I'm gonna go up to a 75mm throttle body, but that isn't gonna add too much lol, maybe 3-5rwhp if i'm lucky lol.. next big motor mod will probably be swapping the gt40 intake out for the holley systemax intake... and maybe changin' the aluminum edelbrock heads out for some afr's... but like i said, thats gonna be awhile unless I get a sudden lump sum of cash handed to me haha.

[mocha latte cupcake]

yeah. well good luck on it and definately keep us updated man! i can't wait to see ya hit the 500 mark.

[Repost Squintz]

nice numbers, definately wouldnt want to mess with you on the highway. on a side note;
man, i prolly couldnt even keep up with half of the members my car is so slow :lmfao:

[Thrust]

Those are some great looking #'s. I love to see clean, strong running fox bodies. I'm currently debating if i should put a kb on my car, or just go the ported blower route and save some $. I know that I will eventualy have a kb since all of this hp is addictive.

[5thgcelica]

sorry to hear you didnt hit your 500 like you wanted

howver those are some nice numbers. keep up the good work!

[HyPer50]

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm not really THAT disappointed that I didn't hit 500.. cause as the title set, I just haven't yet... lol I still plan on doing more... and man... if that stock 302 block ever breaks, the skys the limit then lol cause then i'll be steppin' up to the built blocks = ) But anyways, thanks for the comments guys, and girls heh.

pfft,put some pulleys on that thing! I assume you are still running the 3.33/6.87 combo?

[HyPer50]

pfft,put some pulleys on that thing! I assume you are still running the 3.33/6.87 combo?

nope... thats what i just changed out... went to a 3" reichard blower pulley.. still the stock crank pulley. any smaller and I'll need to run race fuel... which I'm not gonna do, since this is basically my daily driver.

ahh gotcha..what kind of boost was it seeing and did you put a powerpipe on it?

[HyPer50]

It's getting 13-14psi with the 3" pulley and the UPR powerpipe.

[Big Baller]

thats not bad numbers for your setup(from what I can tell from the pics)

I'm sure with some colder air and some tunning you will be able to push it over the 500hp mark

damn,i would think you should be making over 500 with that much boost on an S-trim. Are you running a chip or just adjusting timing with the distributor?

It's been tuned, by Jeff Harris. The local pushrod guy..

Nah no chip.. just bumpin' the timing and messin' with the fuel. He said this was a "cautious" tune cause he's worried about havin' the smaller pulley without havin' race gas... runs fine as it is tho so I'm not gonna complain heh.
