Thought I hurt the motor..but found more power.

[95 Formula]

Thought I had hurt the motor at the spring break shootout so I checked it over and took it to the dyno to see if it was down on power. I found a problem and fixed it and everything seemed fine...I just wanted to make sure before I tore into it.

Well...ended up making more power than ever...lol.

Made 439.2/403.9 through a 9" and 4.71 gears. No dyno tricks..belt on I just put drag radials on isntead of slicks. The car was pretty lean for some reason and I didn't have my laptop with me. It was at 14.2 so I know more power would have been there if I had tweeked it. Oh well...gonna finish the install on my nitrous system and head back to the dyno for tuning on motor and nitrous.

then...lt4s on the way...then converted vic. jr. intake, then a new cam. I'm doing each mod one at a time and running it for a while. I want to see what each change nets in hp and et.

I was glad to see that you didn't hurt the motor in San Antonio the other week. With the engine setting a new best on the dyno yesterday looks like we still have a good test platform for the new LT4 heads & intake. Damn... since the engine is fine looks like I need to burn the midnight oil and finish up those heads! :D

I've gone 10.93 so far at 124.7. Went 125.8 in 1600 DA worse weather but spun on the run and only neted a 10.96. I think in the current config..if we had a good air day and I can go 1.45 60's like on the 10.93 runs I think it would go a 10.7 at 126ish. But the air is going away so I will just settle for high 10s untill steve finishes my new heads.

yep...get your ass to work man...lol We have a great platform. Would be cool to get 470+ rwhp with the new heads. I think with some tuning I could have gotten close to 450 last night....and my heads are nothing compaired to what we will have when you finish:drive: Then...throw that intake on...heheheheh...who knows where this little 355 will end up.
