Dan make a 5 hour trip north and I will buy you dinner!

 

Yes, I'd run it on a dyno before but am not certain that the engine was hitting on all 8 (consistently). It put 350hp (no torque reading) to the rear with a very mild cam.

This new cam and spring setup is supposed to be "the bomb" - in a good way. I've also gone to an electric water pump so that should free up a few ponies.

I'll post the results of the dyno soon after I get it dyno'd.

I'm honestly hoping for much better numbers this next time around. If not, oh well, I hope it'll be consistent!

 

Blah Blah Blah...screw the dyno...I wanna see a freakin time slip and videoed pass

 

How 'bout he makes a 12 hour trip south(ish) and you make a 17 (no wait, I've ridden with you....) a 13 hour trip in the same direction and I'll COOK!!! Come on, if y'all had left this morning you'd both be here already.....

Mr. Rick, do you ever get over toward Beaumont? I'll probably be going to school there for the next three semesters and then head to Houston for Law School. Just wondering if you ever head East? If you ever do, give me a call! Preston

 

Ha! So do I, but I do believe the dyno is the best way to get the correct Air/Fuel Ratio rather than puttnig in different tunes on the chip and 'hopin' I've got it right.

I promise you, I'm as anxious as can be to get back on the track - where it counts.

Preston, I drive through Beaumont on my way to visit my Mom (who lives in Jonesvill, LA) every Thanksgiving or when I visit our office in Broussard, LA. I'll remember to give you a shout the next time I'm coming through.

 

Preston, I drive like a little ole granny just ask my wife

 

Rick, glad to hear it...
now lets get some time slips!

 

Fun Ford Weekend, Houston,TX (hopefully) May 4, 5 & 6th.

 

Glad you got it back together. Looking forward to seeing the car run at FFW. Next time we wave at you at 529 BBQ and you ignore us.......we're throwing BBQ at your azz.

 

Yummy! I'll have a Bud Light with that order.

'Sorry. I didn't see you guys. back atcha.

See ya at FFW.
