thanks

 

Do a search for 83 Crossfire TA. It's his bro car, and I believe hes posted some pics before.

 

you the man:yourock:

 

Whazup?

 

i've seen some pic's of that car but want to see them again. Do you/he have a web page? I'm considering putting one on a carbed 355 and run around 6-8lbs of boost. I need to see how it's mounted. I've looked a saterns bu but don't want to cut my hood.

thanks

 

na, no real web page, just this:

there are more pics around but I don't have them up anywhere or a good place to put them.

 

what kind of numbers did it put down on the dyno?

 

heh, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't really representative of what it runs... it's best was 326hp... It ran an 11.6@119 a week or 2 later in the same trim...

 

ahhh, and now i remember why i drive a chevy

 

Because he probably tuned it between the dyno and the track?

 

‘cause all chevy’s run 10’s at 130mph?

and no, it’s not really about tuning it either… inertia dyno’s aren’t kind to blown cars unless the inertia of the drum is about equal or greater then that used to accelerate the mass of the car. Turbo and supercharged cars make proportionately more torque when the engine is heavily loaded, so you’ll get higher numbers the heavier the drum is or lower with a lighter drum, unless the dyno operator “adjusts” things to read more favorably.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it here again, dyno numbers are next to useless when comparing different dyno sessions or different cars. Back to back passes on the dyno with no changes to the dyno are useful for tuning, but are not a great indication of what power the car is making and how fast it will run.

 

its called sarcasm..its still a nice car whether or not its a ford and 11's out of a nice sleeper is pretty damn quick.

 

Well, since you guys are asking and since I don’t have any web space to upload them to, I’ll put a few pics up here. The car is in the body shop right now getting redone (it got hit by a snowplow last spring), I snapped some progress shots yesterday (and also some of the only shots of the roll bar and current engine setup…).It’s in the process of loosing a bunch of trim, little courtesy doodads (like the turn lights, it actually had lights mounted in the fenders that would light up the side of the road if you turned the signals on…)

 

Good (dirty) engine shot

 

another

 

Lastly, since a lot of people have asked in PM's/email, where we put the roll bar:
