Guess it's a good thing I did some brake work at the end of last season. See you soon.
i changed my brake fluid today for the first time in over 2 years. i should be a little better too. :PQuote:

My numbers were 235/301 as shown on my dyno sheet here:

Here are the facts, for those over-analyzers and nay-sayers in the crowd:
1) Motor unchanged since Mid-Ohio dyno with 226/292 #s there.
2) Fresh fluids...10/30 Mobil 1 vs 10/40 Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 ATF vs Redline MTL.
3) Car is 150# to 180# heavy (and an aerodynamic nightmare, I might add!) Will be running a spare seat more in 2007 for e-ticket rides...read heavier than before.
4) ~9000 race miles on FoMoCo Reman 302 c.u. longblock motor
5) NO Cobra parts (factory 5.0 cam, factory 5.0 rockers, factory 5.0 ECU, factory 5.0 heads, etc)
6) Speed Density
7) 13 degrees of timing
8) factory fuel pressure regulator and 43psi (w/o vacuum at idle)
9) 5 year old plugs and wires
10) underdrive pulleys (not race pulleys)
11) 30 psi in rear tires
12) March intake box with K&N conical filter in factory location
13) Very cold, very dry nite
It CAN be done!!!
These #s are slightly higher than what I'm used to, however, I'm still comfortable with them given that if I go back to 10W/40 oil and slightly warmer weather, it'll come back down a few points. I've got the weight to carry me and can dial out a little timing (like Liebbe) if need be.
Glenn you can print this and file it or I'll provide you with a copy at the track for our series backup files.

Todd,
Curse you and that abomination of a motor - LOL! It just ain't right!!Guess I'm headed back into this fight with another low motor on the HP/TQ rankings.
Buncha cheatin bastiches, thats what you Ford guys are! :lol:
now those are numbers I like readin' about!Quote:

Nice numbers, Todd. :D
Beating cars with 30+ more torque = priceless
Beating cars with nearly 200 more pounds and an aerodynamic disadvantage = reasonable. :wink:
Morgan...yup...routine/agressive oil changes is about all. Don't jinx me now, she's been good to me thus far. I figure I might get new plugs at the end of the season. (Afraid to touch anything.)

Racecar is fixed... $0.25 part... Yup... Thanks to Jeff Brooks for looking where I guess I had not yet...
