These days nothing to prove to anyone about hp,1/4mile slips, running flat out it's all about enjoying the hot rod experience. Our car is almost there the engine needs a little attitude everything else is spot on. After hearing all that you guys have had to say the car has to stay drivable so another 50 to 100 hp. should work nicely and satisfy that urge that is consuming me.
Of course what is driving me it is wanting to polish all the aluminum on the engine, having it apart for that makes the roller cam change a no-brainer. |
Ed, you are confusing yourself and the issues.
Not bashing anyone’s blower, Apparently, you misinterpret my post to say “can’t be done” The correct interpretation is “poor street engine” for all of the reasons I gave and I stand by them. you said "easily produce 700 to 800HP out of a 302. (In the Cobra world 302 typically means WINSOR engine). Your post did not say “a 4 valve, Alum block, Mod motor with a forged crank, aftermarket forged rods, Forged pistons, intercooler.” Be that as it may, I dont know Harold or the car you posted about, but my experience shows that the boost, blower size, injector size, fuel flow and octane It takes to make over 1100 hp in a 281ci package, makes not a fun street driver! And if you think a big block ford with a centrifugal blower at 5-8 psi is problem, what would you call that 25-26psi, light switch fused hand grenade? Can be done, sure. Why? Jason |
