That's awesome man. Get that cam/CAS fixed and tear it up! Can't wait to test and compare again.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

BTW, thank you to ShaneTheMadScientistExtraNoMeat for tuning, V8ViperReid for helping out the whole dang day, ChrisMyBuddy (not on the forum) for helping get my car back home after it got dyno-busted, and InYourSuckerFaceKyle, JDMJohn and MyNameMeansBusinessSwifty ;) for helping push the car.

No thanks to JimTalonFiero! All he did today was bust my chops and tell me to quit making torque, lmao! j/k, Thanks Jim for all your reverse psychology support.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Better fix my name buddy ;)

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Thank you! I will do that, and yeah, testing and comparing... in Mexico. :D

If I can somehow get it fixed tomorrow I might head down to porky's but I'm not in a huge rush. I'd kindof like to drive the car, but what's a couple days to get something done right? (Why didn't I take that advice last winter and buy nice rods? lol)

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

rofl. I thought you were dangerous enough at the lower power level. ;)

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Nah, it's a fuzzy household pet, no beast. lol. I was just thinking though, if it kept gaining power like it was, it would take 37psi to make 600. But something tells me that won't happen, lol.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Glad it broke exactly how you thought it did. Simple fix and you'll be on your path to 500hp I would think.

With all that torque you should enter competitions like this:

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

If I can get my cam fixed today I'll be out there tonight tearing it up. I can only hope, lol. No welding shops that are listed publicly want to do it or are even open fridays. My only hope lies in friends with tig welders. I know approximately two. lol.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Fuck congrats man. Don't break it just yet wait until the snow flies.
That's a lot of power I want to see this bad boy even more.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Getting cam fixed tonight, so it'll be good to go in a few hours. Also a member on starquestclub offered to trade fuel pumps, he said he has a "bosche 1000." Which V8ViperReid and I can only imagine to be an 044. So, if that's what it is, I'll trade pumps with dude and see what's up. lol.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

I want another ride but not like the same circumstances as last time. :D

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Badass numbers man! Don't you have billet rods in this thing? How come you're afraid to push it to 30? I say do it to it! Then again, I'll take a reliable 450whp over a broken 500whp car any day.

What fuel pump do you have in it right now? Walbro? BAP and push those 1000's to 101% baby!

*edit* eleven, I mean push them to eleven.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Negative on the aftermarket rods. The guy has an 044 to trade so I'm gonna do that quick and go back for maxing some 1000's haha.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

And not that this actually happened, but last night I imagined going up against this stang that was on spray and went 11.40 or something. He got the v8 torque jump and pulled about three or four cars on me before I finally had a tall enough gear. But the gap started closing fast and I passed him banging the rev limiter in 4th.

Sometimes my imagination can run wild I guess.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Sounds like an active imagination! I can relate ;)

Well I got the intercooler pipes recut and rewelded to fit the new intake manifold. Got a mustang 5.0 throttle body that needs an idle valve and TPS, and John's old 1680cc injectors. Very excite.

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

^x2 on the very excite, i heart this car.

I can imagine reading this thread is hard because it seems like parts are missing. They are. After getting the 433 tune, the clutch began to slip, so instead of getting a new clutch like I should have, I took the advice of the guy at spec and cleaned my slipping clutch and put it back in. And even at 22psi, it was slipping, so that was a bad idea and lots of labor for crappy results.

I have ignored that lately and gone with the new intake mani you see up above, and a new fuel system. I made a sump in my stock tank and will be installing the fuel pump under the rear bumper for all you slower cars to see. The picture above is "upside down" but you get the idea. It's a whole lot of billet aluminum back there, and it's going to be loud, haha. But it supported 650awhp at DB, so I know it'll be more than I need for the time being...

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

Don't they usually see the passenger door?

What's the new plan for the clutch?

Re: Turning my quest into a dsm.
 

You burned me good! lol.

Plan fo' the clutch is to just get their upgraded pressure plate and possibly a new disc, but the plate is supposedly good for 100 more lbs of torque than the current one I have.

I'll need it too. Trying for 50-100 more hp than the previous max. I don't know why though, since 430 was super fun.
