Boys,
I have just tightened the belt on my 5.0 TF TW headed, b cammed, m112 supercharged motor and its now a ripper. I'm making about 14 psi that drops down to about 9/10 psi in the higher rpms, and It is a beast! I simply tightened my tensioning rod more to get the belt tighter and like magic, instant more boost! It's been a long year working on the car, cleaning things up but now its finally done.... for now. I'm thinking its pushing the limits of what the block can take, especially since there are 58cc heads on the thing right now. I have timing way down at a max of like 19* to prevent detonation, and I don't hear any, but the thing runs like a raped ape. I traded a cowl hood for some slicks, just need to install my rear drag springs and shocks and take her to the track. I'm thinking I will deff hit low 11's to high tens. Only prob is If I do hit those numbers I'll get booted because I have no cage installed.
What's your guess?
This is what it looks like all said and done.
