Too Much Torque, Now What?

[Fbody383]

Also, take a look at how much I get pulled on the straight by the Orange is fast car.

How did I get dragged into this - obviously I had better corner exit speed, a good draft, and maybe gearing working. Too bad the mustangs are lighter and corner better...

Back to Supercharged's issue - too much power for CMC - AI it is I guess.

Maybe the combo of underdrive and y-pipe? I run the stock exhaust - factory y-pipe through a gutted cat and just dumped behind the axle. 39mm plate (of course) and was 262/309. On a motor we boiled dry at Houston Jan15.

Maybe get Sean to chime in about where he picked up his exhaust restrictors.

It's that 320ftlb cheater lt1 ya got, I could tell you were shifting at 3000rpm to stay in peak tq!

Yeah, I watched a little video last night of the 013 pulling the world WITH the big drag wing.

At MSRH? Man my car sure seemed weak, I was getting pulled by everyone I felt like, wing should be pretty low drag, damn thing is tilted up in the middle.

I don't know about the drag but it sure does look pImP!!!!

Can you post an image of one of your dynos? I want to see if yours falls off before the rev limit. Mine doesn't, and I suspect it's because of the aftermarket y. Kinda surprised nobody has before/after numbers to quantify the difference here. I know Ryan went back and forth, but I don't know how much of a difference it made for him. Per the google, the pulley ought to be worth 5ft/lb at the wheels or more. Mine's pretty aggressive.

Everyone is jealous because I have the nicest, cleanest, flyist racecar!

Yes my car has 10.5:1 compression ratio and what I assume was 87 octane fuel bent six or seven intake valves. If I was going to do it all over I would go to 9.5:1. I would lose some power but the engine would never have screwed up with the lower octane fuel. I'm way to tight to run $9.90 per gal. race fuel.

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

I agree.
