Thought i'd start a thread to document the "evolution" of my car.
If some of you don't know i bought the car off Sean G. "racers" when it spun a balance shaft bearing.Â*
I knew i was going with a built motor anyway so it was a great platform to start with even thought it had plenty of mods done to it.
With the help of the guys at FFTEC we are making one serious street/strip monster.
Here are some pics as i yanked the motor out :
Here are the pistons and rods:
We are pushing 34 psi right now and probably will go as high as 40psi so we o-ringed the block:
While we had things apart we decided to test out FFTEC's Intake Manifold and 75mm TB
We got things back together pretty quick but made one bad decision as far as clutch goes.
We tried out an ACT HD w/ street disc and basically killed it.
The car did make 527Hp / 423Tq on 34psi on just a single walbro 255.
At this point we were able to go just 11.2 @ 131mph as the car would not allow me to dis-engage the clutch fast enough to allow shifts past 8000 rpmÂ* :x
We tried what we could bleeding the clutch and adjusting but nothing worked.
So that leaves us to where we are today...........i'll post up some more pics of the new mods i just have to snap a few and upload them for you guys/gals.
Stay tuned we hope to have some exciting things to go on the car now and hope to drop ET's quickly as i can now shift the car at any rpm QUICKLYÂ*
