Too Much Torque, Now What?

IMO you shouldn't have to run race fuel to make the power.

I agree too, but there aren't many options. Besides, I was suggesting mixing it and not running straight race gas.

As much as that Steeda timing adjust helped you, the MSD opti would help me as well. Bolt on and go. Sometimes I wish our rules were more lax. Or that I sucked more at building motors.

How would the MSD opti help you make more or less power?

It allows you to tweak the base timing by +/- 6 degrees like the cheater Fords do with the Steeda part.

OK, good info. to know and I sure hope it never becomes legal which I doubt. The 4.6 needs it to try and get up to the numbers just like the 5.0 or TPI needing parts to get up to the numbers. Since the LT1 and LS1 have no trouble being over it certainly isn't needed.

OH-and you can certainly win races with 250 hp or races and championships with I think 283 or 288 tq like Mosty does. Especially at Hallett.

Can you post an image of one of your dynos?

I can, and/or email you the dyno file. This is one of the better graphs the motor has ever put up.

If I remember someone had the Cresson lap record in CMC for a few years and he was driving a 230/300 CMC1 car.

250hp carrying an extra 200# because your torque is still high? I ran with ~287ft/lb in 2014 and it didn't seem to hurt me, but my hp was 260 and I didn't have to carry ballast around. With the Fords being so light, I feel it's easier for them to scrape by being low on torque but again, this is where data is king and all I have is a dyno graph.

Failing at inserting image directly into the post. The 55 probably shouldn't look at this... and those scales were RIGHT.

Of course I spent a lot of time chasing all the mustangs... gotta get that pig to turn.

I can't see that on Chrome, Firefox, or my phone.
