No i have "whooped" other gt's with mods and i have still have the stock sohc motor that comes in the car with a turbo the size of your fist.

 

Yea thats me. The car isn't tuned at all. Basically all i could do was leave it with a basemap because something was mechanically wrong with the car and making changes to the fuel maps didn't change his afr's at all. We are gonna retune once he gets his headgasket fixed.

 

On a 95 GT (which by the way is the worst year to use as a performance example of the 302) The factory computer (regardless if it's chipped or not) will pull loads of timing away from the car at anything above 4200 rpm. There are products in the afetrmarket called a PIH or Performance Improvement Harness, basically this harness along with a MSD 6AL and a Pre 94 Computer (preferrably a A9L) will delete the power robbing tendencies of the 94-95 5.0 computer. Timing equals power just like cylinder pressure does

And my coupe is actually a low 12 second car on a slick and it doesn't want any part of that monster Accord near it . I have much repect for that one!

 

Wow!

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if people can't realize a 2V 4.6L can't make power and run times, you are mistaken. Some of the fastest all motor 2V's are running 10.8's without a power adder. Some have been running 12.8's with under 250 rwhp and as little as 4.30's, shifter, a DR, midpipe and catback, and that is it. I know of a few that have ran 12.70-12.98 with those mods. it is also not hard to get a 2V to make 600-750 rwhp with the right blower/turbo setup either.

That doesnt mean they all will. Sometimes you have a car with a ton of mods, but if it is poorly built, a shitty tune, or just the wrong combo selected(I.E a dohc 4V with low compression set up w/ a turbo or stage 3 cams on an unported B headed 97-98 Cobra) you won't see any real gains or power at all.

I have also seen some fast 302's running mid to low 12's(Jimmy and Nics old coupe). Again it is about the right choice of mods and proper selection which will get you the power. It is cheaper to make more power with a pushrod 5.0 than it is a modular. However, once you hit a certain hp, both are equally expensive to go further.

I never under estimate any cars ability whether it is a supra, Honda, dsm, etc. Yes most are not what you think they are, but you never know when you will run into that sleeper thats running 9's!! They can easily beat a domestic just as easy as they can be beat with the right car.

 

Thats very good for only 300whp in a 2700lb car and run low 12's ,but u guys can run low 12's with only 105-110mph,

back then i was young back in 98-99 all i had was a summit book just ordering aftermarket parts for it but you have told me somthing i didnt know ,it explains the no high rpm power

one other thing was the trannys dont hold up but thats a whole nother story

me being a import guy i still love the ls1 and ls2 v8 engine over any motor made in the us for best bang for the buck when it comes down to only us cars

but still its funny its so easy to make them fast like that but every time i hit the track its maybe few fast stangs there and a shit load of 14-13sec ones with many mods

I guess u know just as much stuff about stangs as i know about imports

 

dlb how much boost are you runnin? Jus curious I dont see any worthy hondas around my area! Maybe thats a reason why i hate em so!! lol

 

Yes, but you have too much pride it becomes ignorant sometimes. Trust me there are quite a few fast cars that are hondas in c'field, let alone richmond metro areas.

Instead of getting a bassani exhaust(crap imo) get some gears and then a DR gas o/r x with magnaflows

 

Naw bassani's are the best sound quality exhaust out there!!! Cant wait to order em after i get back from vacation!

 

Very debatable .

Just offering some other info that there are better exahausts out there for less.
They dont offer the best hp neither. Not to mention the pricing.

 

on the 460whp 400wtq pull it was on 19-20psi and that pass in the sig was the same , rigth now i have my boost up to 25-26psi on a street tune but i really want high boost if my wastegate will let me 30-35psi would be nice

heres some logging of some high boost playing and pic of where it starts spooling with a t4 on a small 4banger



spool

yeh i spool a t4 like a v8
