did u start off in second gear or something?

[Casper98GT]

That Procharged V6 would waste me...

Oh no, i started in first and my 60's suck and my car is a trifling piece of shit.

Anyone looking to buy a fox, i'll throw in the vortech and intercooler too.

[itschristorres8]

how the hell?
you didnt even manage a good trap speed
no offense but even on 5.8psi with a shitty tune in my 6 before i never trapped that low.

[flattusmaximus78]

Soemthings not right theirs no way it should run those times.

[06RedfireGT]

Something's definitely not right. Those are damn near stock times.

[Modified88Dreamer]

My 93 4 cylinder Mustang time (when I had it of course) ran like a 18.6 @ 87. You have twice the motor and ran thoses times

and you said your npi was a piece of crap, LOLZERS

j/k you def need some sticky tires, though.

Ehh doubt it would do much his mph could go 13.8 but thats far off. Bolt on foxes can do that. I'd go over the new setup casper. I mean you bought great parts.... it doesn't add up.

Atleast then it would be faster than his old car, right now hes running fairly stock sn95 times.

[blue90lx]

Just a thought, you said you have a trickflow street heat intake. That good be killing it with those heads. Not allowing enough air flow. Just a guess. But it shouldn't hurt you that bad.

[Casper98GT]

I dont understand it either. But its like itschris said, there is no trap speed to even work with there. If i had stickys and suspension i doubt i would even be out of the 14's. Just doesnt make sence, even with the trickflow intake, or even a factory style cobra intake it should still pull out a easy 13.

[Darrell]

Its spinning bad but the problem is deeper than that. I'm wondering if there is a detonation issue. I think it might be time to find a reputable tuner and strap that thing on a dyno. You have a good set up. You should be trapping 118mph or so. Something else you could try is pulling the belt off the blower. If the car gets faster than you know the problem has to do with the blower.

How does the car feel Matt? Does it feel like its running poorly or does it feel down on power?

[flattusmaximus78]

Darrel He doens't have the blower on their yet.

Ahhhh.... That makes more sense then. I read his sig and wondered how in the hell his mph could be so slow with an S trim.

So lets go back to this:

I'd definitely put a tire on it and fix that 60 foot. Power shift that bitch like a mad man also.

[Darrell]

Where the heads and other parts new? Where is the timing at? Do a compression test just for piece of mind.

[Casper98GT]

So yeah. No blower...yet


You think even with a AMAZING 1.7ish 60 foot and powershifting the shit out of it, which i always do. Im a pretty good driver. Just this is only my first 3 times at the track with it. You think it would still pull decent numbers?? Because im not thinking so. You can pretty much tell how good and how much power is being put down just by the MPH. and my mph SUCKS. especially for a top end kit car. If i had MPH's of 100-106 i would be happier. Then i would know...ok. Do some suspension work and stickys. But im just so depressed on the mph more than anything.

Only a couple hundred miles, got them from a friend with a brand new 302, and that top end kit. I bought a bunch of other parts new to put it together. But he only had literally few hundred mile and he got a great deal on a 347 with a KB.

Timing is at with the spout out 16*, had it at 14...tried 16 and have no running issues. So i let it stay there. Adjusted my TPS to .96 was at .81. Fuel pressure was at 46psi. lowered it down to 40psi. The car feels very strong, no hesitations, misfires or check engine lights. Feels low on power down low, but its to expect from a f303 and current setup correct?

I dunno....im just so dissipointed i dont even wanna waste more money getting it tuned. I just wanna let it sit and maybe it will catch on fire....i dunno.

[Casper98GT]

Just a thought....the reason you wanna know compression because you think something might be wrong, or just the simple fact i might not have MUCH compression at all using 64cc with factory pistons?

I didn't mean to insult your driving ability. I just thought maybe you were being easy on it because it was the first time at the track with it. There is mph and et to be gained in power shifting. But if you were power shifting and are good at it then we can rule that out.

The compression is probably about 8.5:1 which is low for an N/A engine but I doubt it is causing the problems you are having. That F303 cam should start pulling good around 2500. It might be a bit soft down low. I've never had any lack of low end power issues with that cam. The reason I suggested a compression check is just to rule out any issues like rings not seated, burned valves, broken valves, etc. Check the little shit too like making sure the throttle is opening all the way, vacuum leaks, etc. The rockers aren't adjusted too tight are they? What was the weather like the day you went to the track? How about altitude? If you don't find any issues with the compression test or anything being out of place I think it might be a good idea to throw it on a dyno and see where its at. I wish you lived closer so we could do some test and tune on my local dragstrip......the road behind my house
