Not sure what kind of horsepower you're making on that "darn near" stock motor with it's raised compression, aftermarket intake, Dominator carb, and long tube headers. I was just letting you know that if you were comparing the rated 425hp that you stated in your post, that those numbers were a...

Love the old Ford FE's! Comparing the LSx engines to the FE's would take a lot of similar build materials comparisons. I'd be willing to bet the mentioned 427ci/425hp motor he's speaking of would dyno just a liiiiitle more than 425hp. All of the motors back then were under-rated for insurance...

Friend of mine was at the Va Motorsports Park this past Friday, said there was a Ecoboost Flex running 13.90's there. Appeared stock. Pretty impressive. Reminds me of the Volvo turbo wagons.

I would have to agree whole-heartedly! It's the only whining I put up with :coolman:

Yep, the other side of the JRB, I live on the south end of the county. I come over to the peninsula all the time for tournaments with my daughter's softball team. Stoney Run and York County Sportsplex.

Welcome, hope to see you around the way since it appears we're both in southeast VA. I work out in Suffolk at Beach FLM and live in Isle of Wight.

Was out there Thursday evening at Pasquale's and again Saturday. Lunch while it rained at Como's, walked Mustang Alley, then cruised up and down once, parked behind Pasquale's a few blocks deep and watched from the curb (and the bar down under the restaraunt enjoying $1 drafts) until the cops...

Good run. Mine wasn't that fast before the...uh...intake manifold swap :rolleyes:

I was there! Drove the Faux-rauder 690 miles just to say I had cruised Woodward. Was there with some Ford guys, had a week of business prior and spent Saturday (the rainy day) down there. Never realized that you guys had a spot to yourselves until I was on the way out or I would've stopped...

I hate the new format of the show. I mean, the racing and prizes and all are fine, but the studio commentator talking over top of the sound of the cars, the fact that you never get to see a race from start to finish and that Willie G guy that has to ruin it with all the fake attitude...they...

If the whole tire isn't making contact, then drop the pressure more. The footprint gets wider and longer. Old trick from back in the days when tire technology wasn't what it is today. Mount a wider slick on a skinny factory rim and drop the pressure down. That's where rim screws came from...

I used to get him and Sean Astin confused...until Rudy! RIP "the other" Corey.

Fantastic! I usually watch as I crawl in bed, was mad to see I missed the one episode I should've watched. Great job guys!!!

Nice looking truck, wish he would've gotten an early-release 6.2L version to do that to. Would be interested to see the difference. The cylinder heads on the new 6.2L look like bigger versions of the Trickflow 2V heads. Huge valves.

He was probably feeling converter lockup if he was at that speed with O/D cancelled. That will definitely feel like a extra load on a n/a motor. It isn't as bad with a s/c, but you can still feel it. Either way, you were fighting a much larger battle than the Honda between power-to-weight and...
